    I combined two engines into one opposed-piston engine, and it worked.


    Friends,

    It’s been a while since I’ve been here.

    This time, I want to share a video where I combined two engines into one large opposed-piston engine. Unfortunately, I haven’t yet determined how much the power has increased after this modification, but the process itself—and most importantly, the result—impressed me quite a lot.

    What do you think?

    The engine would run smoother if the con-rods were side by side on the same journal...

    Reminds me of when Porsche welded to two flat 6 cylinder engines together to make a Horizontal Opposed flat 12 for the 917's.
