Hey Rick! I agree. They are magic. I had no idea how crazy they were until I started seeing videos on them. 2 stroke diesels rule the sea. 2 stroke engines with blowers instead of crankcase pumping are perfect for hybrid cars. I wonder if they have been passed over by the powers that be. Truly remarkable little beasts. Ha!

not really, a wankel rotary works on a 4stroke cycle, but due to its design, it does have twice the amount of combustions per revolution of the eccentric shaft than a four stroke, just like a 2stroke. the fact a wankel doesn't have valves but just intake and exhaustst ports like a 2stroke petrol engine, also contributes to the sound :)

@jjhack3r

yeah no kidding. The 2 stroke is all about flow dynamics. Rotary engines are based on similar principles but rely less on how it flows. rotaries are essentially rotating 2 strokes but have a more consistent idle because of their more predictable pumping methods.

Wankel rotary, or Le Rhone rotary? The Le Rhone was a "radial-ish" design, where the crank was bolted to the firewall, and the whole engine spun around, and the propeller was connected to it. ( My 10th grade metal shop teacher, made replacement carburetors, for this engine, that is how I know all this trivia. Oh, that class was in 1974.) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Rh%C3%B4ne I'm quite sure you mean the Wankel (Mazda) engine. (Yes, quite a few people used the Wankel design, including the model engine maker, OS Max.) Like others have pointed out,that sound comes from the exhaust port, opening almost instantaneously. (Just like a 2 stroke.) steve

There are major differences between a "2-stroke motor" and a "horizontally-opposed piston motor", which is what this truck has. Also, it's not a "car", nor has this type motor ever been used in a car. These type motors were used in Fairbanks-Morse locomotives, and were also very common in large ship motors.

I saw one of these Suzkis on Grenada during the intervention. One had bullet hole through the windshield where the driver would be sitting IF it wasn't right-hand drive. I can imagine the shock of the sniper when he thought he put a round dead center of the driver and it kept right on going!

If I recall correctly, the tiny engine in the Berkeley T60 can also run backwards, thus giving it as many reverse gears as forward gears. If not that, then there is another small three-wheeled sportscar from England with such an engine.

Thanks for another awesome video Visio and happy Xmas! Idea pitch for another video: "Highest revving Diesel engines" (Drag racing or pulling got to 6k and the Audi LM ones revved pretty high too, so pretty interested in that)

I remember a car that raced at Santa Barbara Airport when they raced there back in the 1960s. It was powered by 2 100hp mercury outboard engines converted to drive the car. When he punched the throttle to accelerate down the long straight it sounded like an explosion. He passed a lot of cars right up till one of the chains driving the rear wheels broke and he went round and round before he could get it stopped.

Love these videos!! Keep them coming my man!!

When I was younger I had a honda odyssey 250fl that was 2 stroke. Was a fun little ride!

Thank you VisioRacer, I had no idea that Bigglewade had any kind of car industry. Its something we can be proud of locally (apart from our ability to grow brussels sprouts)

Love your videos, how about one with three wheeled cars? Thanks

I always thought it was Suzuki JIMMY not JIMNY

2 stroke motors would be successful in cars with a few additions.. 1) Crank case oiling. Since 2 strokes rely on oiling from the fuel mix, when off throttle the engine can be damaged and actually overheat without throttle. The crank would need its own oil basin like 4 strokes.. 2) Valves. Crankshaft-timed valves for the intake and exhaust would allow for supercharging and possibly turbocharging 3) If the crank case was oiled with a basin, you would need much leaner of a gas/oil ratio... leading to a more efficient burn.

I love the engine sound of the jimny because sounds like a rotary engine but as always good video ;-)ps Merry christmas to you and your family ;-)

It's wild how 2 strokes are very powerful for their weight at small cc's (65cc to say 500cc) but after that seems 4 stroke takes the lead by far.... Nowadays we got 2.0L hondas pushing nearly 1500hp. Crazy

@justinbiggs1005

thomas barlow indeed. 4 stroke engines have worse power to weight ratios. But they are more efficient. 2 strokes are much less efficient but have much better power to weight ratios. However I've heard somewhere that two stroke engines can be more efficient if given crossheads. Some of the most powerful and efficient engines in the world are two stroke crosshead low speed diesel engines. The most powerful being about 109,000 horsepower and torque that is enough to shake the damn earth. Lol. A little over 1.5 million foot pounds of torque with efficiency approaching 60%. I wonder what a Gasoline engine of equivalent size would be like. Lol.

2 strokes still produce more power today than 4 strokes. Check out the Suter V4 500cc sport bike. It's 500CC V4 engine making 240 hp. Compare that to a liter bike, if you doubled the 2 stroke displacement that would be 480 HP whereas todays highest horsepower 1 liter sport bikes make about 170-200 HP. And that's with limited 2 stroke R/D because no one is putting money into 2 stroke technology anymore.

Two cycle engines with intake boost ports make boost as you hear it hit the power band "on the pipe" that is when a two cycle self supercharges making boost and its not back pressure of exhaust gasses that stops the boost from blowing out the exhaust port its the sound waves reflecting off the reverse cone of the expansion chamber that hit the opening right where the pipe attached to the exhaust port and makes an invisible barrier holding back bars of atmospheric pressure that never stops building as the cfm of the carb or throttle body is the only limiting factor .this is why a naturally aspirated 4 cycle engine will never have the same horsepower as a two-cycle engine same size cause two cycle engines with boost ports boost

51 hp! That was crazy! I could get out and push.😉👍

That 6-cylinder race car and the Commer was very interesting! About the DKW F102, I believe it was actually only produced 1964-66. VW bought Auto Union and revieved the Audi name. The four rings is not originally Audi, but Auto Union, and they stand for the four brands Audi, Horch, DKW and Wanderer. It's funny to see under the hood of much more recent Audi and see the engine in the same position still as in the F102/3 - fully in front of the (imaginary) front axle. :)

You make good content!
