Concept: AET Reaches Final Development Stage of OX2 Barrel Engine

Green Car Congress

Each cylinder fires twice per revolution and two cylinders fire simultaneously, resulting in four times the output per revolution of a conventional four-stroke engine at the same displacement. The engine can be adapted to run any combustible gas or liquid as fuel. Tags: Concept Engines. OX2 in a test rig.
