After building the engine, parameters characteristic of the OPE, such as: rotational speed, torque, fuel consumption and emissions, were measured on an Eddy currents dynamometer. The pistons move in the cylinder axis in opposite directions, a feature typical of opposed-piston engines.
In this new engine, the combustion chamber is confined to the space inside the cylinder between the piston heads and the chamber between the valves. Joining these two engine blocks together made possible to build an opposed-piston engine (OPE) with two crankshafts.
The chosed engine was Model EY15 of Robin America. The purpose of this project was to develop a low-cost OP engine, 4-stroke, gasoline by joining two single-cylinder reciprocating internal combustion engines with side valves on the block, removing the heads.
