The temporary 2 stroke idea doesn't sound very well cooked. Fine control over the valves is great, but the exhaust and other aspects of the engine need to be tuned for that use case.
- jondumbau 8y agoAlso the "2 strokes are the future" remark seems a bit off too. The future of enduro bikes and chainsaws maybe.
- Fjolsvith 8y agoYeah, this idea is just in time for the all-electric revolution.
- King-Aaron 8y agoThe "all-electric' revolution you've got in mind is likely much further away than you expect. There will be a market for internal combustion engines for many more decades before all-electric vehicles can replace the markets in areas that are more remote, or require long hauling vehicles etc.
- jondumbau 8y agoagree. but you can barely get a 2 stroke passed the existing emission laws, and they're not generally in use in motor racing outside of enduro. ¯\(°_o)/¯
- londons_explore 8y agoYes, but like the hard drive market, as soon as a replacement technology comes over the horizon, all investment in improvements to the existing tech pretty much stops.
