    OPOC Engine designed by Eco Motors - Worth a look

    OPOC Engine designed by Eco Motors

    Not sure if this has been posted, but definately worth a look at the new piston setup concept.

    Opposed piston engines are nothing new (Commer, Napier etc,) There are three potential problems I can see with the OPOC.
    1. This is a skinny but very long engine. It will need to be packaged differently in a vehicle.
    2. Very long connecting rods to the outer pistons with potential for whip and harmonic vibration.
    3. As a piston port engine, intake and exhaust timing is fixed.
