4 Stroke Redesigned

Is this Polish inventor for real?

---

Dropped into our inbox over the weekend was a link to a pretty little website from Poland.

On new4stroke.com, inventor Andrew Feliks claims to have an alternative design to the current four stroke engine, completely dispensing with valve gear in favour of more pistons!

We very much like the idea of challenging conventional engine designs which despite massive advances over the decades are still based on a basic design over 100 years old.

Has this madcop Pole come up with something that could genuinely challenge conventional thinking?

that looks interesting.

I would presume however that there isn't really that much difference between the use of valves on pushrods/cam to pistons/conecting rods on a cam...
