New Cummins built 2-stroke
Twin Crank, 2 pistons per cylinder, no valve train, 2-stroke, supercharged.
Designed by Achates, built by Cummins for the military. What do you call it, a 3 cylinder or opposed 6? Whatever, I want one..... Cummins developing revolutionary new diesel engine for U.S. Army | Fox News . |
3 cylinders, 6 pistons? Whatever it is, I like it.
On a side note, do they still use the VT903 today? |
SICK!

Can't get excited without some specs... New, doesn't always equal powerful and reliable.
But it is interesting, to say the least. |

Opposed-Piston - Achates
Looks like they're using a screw charger like the Magnusson to control the intake side. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |
I didn't even think about it not having a head. This thing keeps looking better and better.

It seems like every couple of years someone comes out with a design like this and it never goes anywhere

I'm talking about a different engine design. They've really been coming out of the woodwork ever since oil prices went up in the mid 2000s. Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk |
Commer in Great Britain made those in 60s for light trucks. Dont know if it was success or not, none of the british trucks were up to continental Europe trucks.

Can we make this run off a P-PUMP??????

Just saw a news article and apparently this engine could in the new Ford F-150. Insta-boner.
