At 53 seconds, it shows the intake cycle beginning. In the same lobe, the exhaust & the intake ports are both open or "connected" at the same time, which is the 2-stroke cycle.
They need to be 100% isolated and it's not super obvious that they are.
- stickfigure 6y agoLook forward to about 1:48 where they run through the whole sequence, flashing intake/compression/expansion/exhaust on the screen for each stroke. Each chamber has four full strokes. It seems clear that there shouldn't be any overlap between the ports. I'm pretty in awe of the cleverness. Hope it works out.
- Groxx 6y agoYeah, that later sequence is clearer now that I look at it again. The first one animating both intake gasses (presumably into the intake chamber, not the compression area) and exhaust at the same time was just confusing me for some reason.
