Stelzer engine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Stelzer engine is a two-stroke opposite-pistons design proposed by Frank Stelzer. It uses conjoined pistons in a push-pull arrangement which allows for fewer moving parts and simplified manufacturing.

An engine of the same design appeared on the cover of the February 1969 issue of Mechanix Illustrated magazine.
