Wouldn't a more obvious solution be to change the direction by adding a second combustion chamber on the other side?

- kabdib 12y agoThat works great until you miss ignition on the opposite side, then wham it bottoms out and destroys the other side of the engine. A gas spring is a pretty simple mechanism and can't misbehave (too bad you can't put it to work, though -- probably a lot of heat being wasted compressing it).
- Already__Taken 12y agoThis would be why you wouldn't run 2 pistons facing each other sharing common valve and ignition set to balance?
