While studying detonation in piston engines I came across this engine, never knew it existed.

That engine is right in so many ways! I bookmarked it for a closer read later. Thanks for posting.crankbndr wrote:While studying detonation in piston engines I came across this engine, never knew it existed.

I read a bit of the article. Brilliant design... the "Scotch Yoke"... ingenious principal for replacing a "conventional" crankshaft. I didn't read anything about "cooling"... other than; by design... it does not run hot. I will read more tonight. VERY COOL...

Some more info on the "Bourke" engine and "Roger Richard" who is currently involved in reproducing the original design.
