switches to burn propane, methane, heating oil, ethanol, kerosene, petrol,
diesel, and a handful of other fuels i can't think of right now. would one of
those be handy to have around in a fuel crunch?
Any older type diesel will run on just about
The theory on them is alluring. Modifying the compression/expansion
cycle to - for example - expand the combustion gases quickly and
thereby reduce pollution seems like a great potential. Another would be
to halt the piston at/just beyond top dead center and let combustion
finish. Those both have

Apparently, it can run as a gen set with externally mixed diesel fuel
and the engine puts out very little in the way of pollution. Unlike
some of the other manufacturers we've discussed on this list,

I was doing some library research earlier today, and stumbled across
the Deltic opposed piston engines. I looked into those, and was just
utterly floored. Like, whoa. is what the guy sitting beside
