Effiency & Economy
It is necessary to emphasize the importance of the very high volumetric efficiency of the traditional piston controlled ports employed by the standard 2-cycle engine. Until now no existing type of inlet valve could produce the essential requirements of presenting the maximum inlet area to the air in the minimum time.
The new design outlined below, significantly increases both the utility and the efficiency of the of the 2-cycle engine, which may now be more efficiently scavenged.
The port layout adopted concentrates the scavenge flow at the wall of the cylinder opposite the exhaust port. This compares with more evenly dispersed scavenge flows common in conventional engines. Scavenge flow within the cylinder provides, in effect, a form of stratified charging and explains improvements in fuel economy obtained with such a simple layout. This enables combined cycle engines to compete with 4-cycle engines in terms of fuel economy, especially under cruise conditions.

Performance
Our design enables combined cycle engines to compete with 4-cycle engines in terms of fuel economy, especially under cruise conditions. The crankcase, freed from any gas exchange functions, is well lubricated; the working processes being sealed above the piston. Isolation of the crankcase also permits a full pressure lubrication system to be used, as in 4-cycle engines.
Reliability
Inherent piston cooling characterstics of the combined cycle piston design offer a major durability advantage over conventional 2-cycle engines, allowing much leaner fuel delivery than can be sustained with traditional crankcase scavenging, where usually piston overheating and consequent seizure are common. This technology operates without complex mechnical components such as cams, valves, mechanism, and the other various precision components necessary to operate them.
The absence of these mechnical components eliminates a large number of moving parts thereby considerably reducing the costs and maintenance requirements, whilst significantly increasing reliability and retaining the simplicity of the 2-cycle engine. With the combined cycle design 2-cycle engine technology, combined with the enourmous benefits together with their appealing simplicity, a new generation of light weight high performance power plants can be achieved, which until now would have been almost impossible.
