well I understand its an engine but whats with the description?

"890 horsepower STOCK engine of the future! Its a new kind of engine that dosen't use a crankshaft at all and you can add as many cylinders to it as you want. It only weighs 100 pounds! Welcome to CONSTANT COMBUSTION!!(please write comments) "

how does it get away with no crank? I mean you have to convert the linear motion of the piston with some sort of crank right? otherwise you wouldnt have a rotary motion, instead more of a powered pogo stick... :blink:

can someone explain the concept to me a little better, preferabley with pretty pictures? :excited:

:banana:

THAT's interesting :blink:

well the Wankel motor shouldn't have crank since they are already rotative, but I can't imagine something else ;)

well either its a closely guarded technical secret(could be worth big money to a major manufacturer), or the guy who made it is a nut....

I must admit a lightweight very powerful engine sounds nice tho...
