 New Engine! VERRRRY Cool!      
Here is another German Invention! 
Oh, and by the way! Let’s watch this invention closely, so we can observe the MANOEUVERING  of the Oil Companies, Lawyers, Politicians, Unions and Wall Street, to cut this invention off at the knees, delay  and/or even stop it’s development. They will all contribute to stopping this engine from ever reaching the American consumer in a reasonable time frame at a reasonable price. JUST WATCH! 

Be sure and watch the video….  Interesting..!! 

For a good demo, See: http://www.engineeringtv.com/video/Opposed-Piston-Opposed-Cylinder

Saving the World Two Strokes at a Time 



This is no wimp engine. It's a two cylinder with four pistons delivering 300+ Horse Power.

It's extremely small and very efficient and is presently in use in test applications .

The configuration below is equivalent to a extremely ballsy four cylinder engine when doubled, it's an extremely ballsy 600+ H.P. engine


 
It’s called OPOC (Opposed Piston Opposed Cylinder), and it’s a turbocharged two-stroke, two-cylinder, with four pistons, two in each cylinder, that will run on gasoline, diesel or ethanol. The two pistons, inside a single cylinder, pump toward and away from each other, thus allowing a cycle to be completed twice as quickly as a conventional engine while balancing it's own loads.
The heavy lifting for this unconventional concept was performed Prof. Peter Hofbauer. During his 20 years at VW, Hofbauer headed up, among other things, development of VW’s first diesel engine and the VR6.
The OPOC has been in development for several years, and the company claims it’s 30 percent lighter, one quarter the size and achieves 50 percent better fuel economy than a conventional turbo diesel engine.
They’re predicting 100 MPG in a conventional car!
