Scuderi engine

In a way, the first cylinder acts as a compressor? Might as well put a turbo, right?

It reminds us of the first gas engine in Lenoir! there was no compression: it sucks at the start of the race, the intake valve closes, it pops, it relaxes, and exhaust in the reverse race

without compression the performance was poor

it goes all round like a 2 stroke, but it's not a 2 stroke: there is no mixing like with the 2 stroke scan

does the black engine get good with separate compression?

to make the best thermodynamic cycle possible it is good to cool a first part of the compression (turbo intercooler) but then you need some adiabatic compression to raise the temperature and the efficiency: if this compression is done in a separate cylinder it is necessary then pass the hot gas through a valve between the 2 cylinders: large loss of heat detrimental to performance

the principle of the current engine where we compress and explode in the same cylinder remains better ... simply the evolution will be to compress more in the turbo, and to reduce the compression in the classic cylinder

if this system was good what idea to put the offset cylinder like that with connecting rods cross? it would work better with the cylinders well in line
