 Analyzing the Split Piston Engine in 3D. Dual Cycle D // 2 and 4 Strokes Combined

This engine combines the advantages of a 2 and 4 stroke engine, making it very powerful and economical. Let's see what are its advantages and disadvantages!

Steve Scuderi, Vice President and Patent Attorney of the Scuderi Group, caught up with Planet Forward at the Washington Auto Show to show us the design for the split cycle engine. This split cycle engine is said to be more efficient than a traditional engine and will be the next innovation in engine design.

An inside look in 3D detailed animation at this #car #engine with a design that positions two pistons per cylinder—working in opposite, reciprocating motion.This eliminates parts including the cylinder head and valve train, improving overall engine efficiency as these components are considered primary contributors to heat and friction losses. The cylinder head and valve train systems are also among the most complex and costly elements of conventional engines. The two-stroke cycle compounds the efficiency benefits of the opposed-piston engine architecture. With this, each combustion event is shorter in duration and, therefore, cycle closer to optimum timing as compared to four-stroke engines. Two-stroke engines are also smaller in displacement and size compared to four-stroke engines for similar performance.
