two stroke diesels aren't that efficient, and will bellow black soot till the supercharger gives more air flow.
part and parcel, they'll give up trying.

Not this one apparently. ( emissions )
There is also a 'hybrid' 5 blade helicopter coming. Suited to all sorts of applications it seems including multiple power units.

Actually thats quite interesting. ? There has been some talk internationally about LPG and LNG developments in Diesels .
I wonder whether there is any link between 2 Stroke diesels and the use of these fuels (uses a little diesel and more LPG) -Im facinated |

GTL, Algae, biodiesel and a variety of gaseous fuel seem to indicate the piston has a life.
It is reported that Saudis will be a net imported in the foreseeable future.

Many Detroit 2 stroke diesels where in buses..With the 6/71 supercharger ..
With new type injection it will possibly be a good design ??
