A new take on the old Boxer engine (VW uses this layout) that I find intriguing.

This is 2 cycle so there are only similarities not direct comparisons.
There is a video in the link but didn't put it into the video section for entertainment isn't it's purpose.

I love how he describes in fancy words how it could be used to cheat the emissions test Laughing looks like a cool motor, but I won't believe anything till it's actually built. Check out how long that outer piston conn rod is... hmmmm

It does look interesting. I don't have sound, does he cover the port timing?
