Comment on Duke Engines' compact, lightweight valveless axial engine

Comments

It seems to share some things in common with the rotary, like moving the ignition chamber past the fuel/exhaust ports, rather than opening/closing valves. So it will need some way to seal the cylinder during compression/ignition... will those seals tend to break up at 100,000 miles like a rotary's apex seals?
