2-stroke hydrogen fueled engine, is this anything? perhaps convertible to/from lpg for testing purposes since its less flammable and you can actually smell it before you blow yourself up due to a leak

like the main problem with 2-stroke engines is emissions but hydrogen emissions are literally just water so thats not a problem so maybe this is feasible

@ikeWren oh wait they were thinking the other kind of opposed design

thats silly i dont like that. having 2 cranks is silly and makes for too wide an engine

@ikeWren apparently they avoid knocking by injecting water mist alongside the hydrogen which is a decent idea

god.... i need to fuck around with lpg i think (gotta get my feet wet with a slightly less combustible and easier to smell gaseous fuel)
