I think the lesson learned here is 'Never Say Never" because someone or something will prove you wrong. Technology is a great thing and this is the next great step. Now that we have a clean buring 2 stroke, it will be interesting to see where engine technology goes. I mean, since a 2 stroke has ports, not valves that means fewer moving parts and less cost and less difficult to manufacturer. Perhaps this will lead to a lot of new more efficient two stroke engines.

Now just make it run on something other than gas - say ethanol or whatever. If we could run on a 'renewable resource' like alcohol then the USA could then provide fuel for ourselves and the world. (We have tons of land for growing corn or whatever to produce the alcohol.) This would certainly change the tide in the world.

 

Kinda long but interesting!!!! The video that is.

 

I have a little insight on some of these types of engines. I used to work out on a lake every day and saw a lot of these lean, "clean burn" engines (100 to 1) when they first came out. I had a chance to talk to a lot of bass fisherman about these engines.
More than a few burnt them up out on the lake. They did not have enough oil going through them and more than a few siezed up. These engines were running in the best of conditions with very cool lake water going through the block and no dust at all.
Did they solve these problems? I just don't know. Would this type of engine work in a hot enviroment like out on a sand dune or on a slow trail? I just don't know.
It's going to be interesting in the next few years. All I know is it will be a cold day in hell before I use a 4 stroke chain saw. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Let's see if Bombardier and turn the ATV industry upside down. If they in fact produce a V-Twin 4 stroke 450, it could mean revolutionizing the industry.
