After 120 years of internal combustion, what could LIM have discovered which would justify such claims?
Since at least the 1930s, it has been known that by using direct injection, the 2 stroke cycle could be just as fuel efficient as the better respected 4 stroke cycle, and that one could use an oil bath in the crank case, just as in four-stroke engines. LIM discovered that by using a super charger delivering pressurized air at the top of the cylinder, while exhaust is released just above the piston, at the bottom of the combustion chamber, we could improve the scavenging process, operate the valve without any mechanism dedicated to making it open and close on a fixed schedule, and reduce the noise level from what is normal for an engine of the same power.
