Interesting but not exactly new thinking. A friend demonstrated the 4
stroke cycle on the school PET 32 by use of much PRINT, CLS and GOTO.

It has to be said it doesn't quite cover the same number of engine
variations.

The wankle was interesting. I'd heard about them but never quite been
able to picture how they worked. They were used on some bikes weren't
they? Why did they stop? I would have thought they would be more
efficient in some way.

Suzuki RE5, Van Veen OCR1000, Herculex/DKW W2000, and Norton made both
air and liquid cooled ones.

Poor fuel consumption, environmentally dirty (they burned oil like a
two-stroke)[1]

Smoother, fewer reciprocating parts.

Expensive to build, though.

Yeah, I was never able to visualise how hose things worked until I saw
that.

Emissions issues I think it was.

Less moving parts should have made it this way but even with development
they have never really lived up to their promise. Or it may be that
they have been made as good as every they are going to get. Who knows.
