Acadamia! The art of being right! :D

Russell also brought up, if not created the idea of the Free Piston engine!
Russell put his money where his mouth was and was evidently successful in proving his theories in many ways!
The game goes on!
Peace
Hey Guys!
So, the infamous 1 stroke, myth?
Look, it's quite simple.
The scotch yoke plates, conn rods, pistons arrangement of parts all connected together = 1 piece!
2 two stroke cylinders on either end.
Come on now....think!
During 1 stroke i.e. 180* of crank rotation we get -
Left end = up...

I cteated the animation on a 2D cad program called Disney Animation Studio and filled in the colored gaseous movements frame by frame in Paint! ;) It was created based on John Allen's critiques over the net...
Invented by John Allen in the 1980's..

According to the old Hot Rod article it seems likely it was not Mr Bourke who called it a "one stroke." As I read thru what Cryptoman has provided, David Wolfe, Founder, Bourke-Engine.Com, is the originator of the "one stroke" .
Unfortunate.
WRONG! Dude, read...
Good morning friends!
Thank you for the validations Dave!

Scotch yoke engines don't work eh?
By the way, the Bourke engine was a MONO STROKE engine, not a 2 STROKE by way of the 1 piece connecting rod mechanism. PROOF of the 1...

Still rings true today! ;)
You mean to tell me, after reading the Bourke Engine Documentary, UNlESS you haven't
and are relying on your piston slapper education, you actually believe it never worked...
The writer simply failed to achieve the Bourke Cycle! Simple as that. Plenty have failed and some have achieved it, evidently.
I know of others who have achieved powering a load with the Bourke engine, to what extent I do not know as I was not an eye witness.
I have yet to personally witness...
"The Bourke engine depends on reversing sliding bearings, and they are its Achilles heel."
W R O N G ! ! ! ! The CMC Sytek uses a slider and worka perfectly! The lubrication issues were fully addressed and solved. The Sytek engine was proven viable via thousands of hours under load on a fully...
Hah! Sounds like a Piston Slapper Club chat group! :D
I know exactly how you feel!
I would love to see conclusive test results myself some day!
Like Russell Bourke say's in the Documentary "you have to throw out everything you know about conventional engine design to understand the Bourke...

Anyone seen the CMC Sytek Scotch Yoke Engine? Completely kills the imbalance problems that conventional direct couple conn rod types suffer from. Interesting how it resembles the Original reverse cam effect Bourke Engine invented by Russell Bourke back in the early 1930's!
