Have you guys seen this? I guess the news was broken in 2009, but this is the first I heard about it.
5-Stroke Concept Engine Design and Development | Ilmor Engineering
All of these alternative engine designs have some great challenge to overcome, I see 2 problems with this one. 1: carbon and soot buildup in the middle cylinder. With no gas ever entering the cylinder, its bound to buildup someplace. 2: Heat. putting all that exhaust into another cylinder inside the block is going to be difficult to keep cool. Other than that, it seems like a good idea!
the 14:5 to 1 compression ratio seems unrealistic. I dont know why all of these alternative engines have to claim such outrageous things.
