The two-stroke gasoline engine was once a marvel of engineering, offering up huge doses of power in small and lightweight packages. Unfortunately, gas two-strokes also burn oil by design, making them ...

The two-stroke engine is mostly a piece of history today, but there was a time when some of the coolest developments in engine technology were two-cycle engines. Here’s how two-stroke technology rose ...

The defining characteristic of a two-stroke engine is to fire (combust) every time the piston is at top dead center. This makes them highly power dense, but also notoriously makes two-stroke engines ...

How hard could it to be to build a two-stroke internal combustion engine (ICE) from scratch? This is a challenge that [Camden Bowen] gladly set for himself, while foregoing such obvious wastes of time ...

Anyone who appreciates simplicity of design and efficiency of operation has to like small two-stroke-cycle engines that power construction tools such as cut-off saws, rammers and breakers. Producing ...

Recently [Camden Bowen] took a swing at machining a two-stroke engine out of billet aluminium, following adventures in 3D ...
