The two-stroke engine is mostly a piece of history today, but there was a time when some of the coolest developments in engine technology were two-cycle engines. Here’s how two-stroke technology rose ...

Anyone who appreciates simplicity of design and efficiency of operation has to like small two-stroke-cycle engines that power construction tools such as cut-off saws, rammers and breakers. Producing ...

The piston ends its downstroke and begins moving upward, compressing the air/fuel mix until combustion happens and the whole cycle begins anew. This means that the high torque efficiency of the ...

Gasoline engines usually run on the Otto cycle, the standard four-stroke and two-stroke combustion process that has been powering humanity for a while now. Although engines typically rely on the "suck ...

It looks like GM is working on modernising two-stroke engines by tackling their emissions problem. This could open a whole new chapter for internal combustion. It’s been a while since two-stroke ...
