Ecochondriacs!

Could we please make this a poll to express the degree to which we are so sick of them!?!

this machine totally revolutionizes the concept itself of lowsiding

Better be starting putting some of those in cars, the media had already broken our balls with the "global warming" story.

Definitely Wankel-esque.

 

One firing of the plugs and one complete cycle per complete revolution per combustion chamber.

 

Inefficient shape of combustion chambers with relatively remote corners.

 

To my way of thinking it's a rotary-valve 2 stroke.

 

Is there any doubt it'd have to run pre-mix?

 

No compression rings or scrapers. I'd expect serious loss of power via blow-by, and loading-up between the big ball and the cases.

 

How many miles d'you expect you'd get on a pair o' balls?

It all depends on the recieving end and what she wants to do with them!! After all she has the the final say!
