It's quite rare that it's completely incomprehensible. Usually by parsing back and forth a couple of times, your innate error correction abilities should enable you to progressively fix up the text. If you're human, that is.
I have no idea. But the engine was about 200hp/
Are you sure? According to my reading of the Wikipedia article, the para yo u've quoted is a description of the earlier Gnome engines.
It goes on to say 'In 1913, Louis Seguin and his brother Laurent (engineers who founded the Société Des Moteurs Gnome [the Gnome motor company] in 1905) introduced the new Monosoupape series, which eliminated the inlet va lve, replacing it with piston-controlled transfer ports similar to those fo und in a two-stroke engine.'
I have no idea but the engine was about 200hp and the car wieghed around half a ton. The straight line acceleartion would see off Porsche and the like but I never did sort out the handling. Too many factors.
well arguably transfer ports are, like sleeve valves, valves..:-)
I think your comprehension needs improving.
Back to the abuse when you ignorance is revealed. (Again)
I reckon this only has one valve, but it is an external combustion engine.

Popliteal fossa as any ful kno. ;-)

Indeed, my comment was more aimed that the reference to TNP as TFP... I had not realised you had introduced a new TLA rather than simply misread/types it, perhaps expansion on first use might help!
I bet Ive read more books on phislophy than he has read the sunday star
Actually that was the second use. I was a bit more explicit earlier in the thread. (The fake philosopher - more cant than Kant). I dreamed that up years ago but am not sure I ever went into print with it before I ceased to be a regular here.
The ever confident idiot. Phislophy indeed. I bet he hasn't read a single one. Now if he has said philosophy he could easily be right since I have no recollection of ever reading such a paper.
"The diesel engine has the highest thermal efficiency of any standard internal or external combustion engine due to its very high compression ratio. Low-speed diesel engines (as used in ships and other applications where overall engine weight is relatively unimportant) can have a thermal efficiency that exceeds 50%."

Some of the WW1 rotary engines had one valve per cylinder.
They had another one in the piston, though :)
Andy
Hah,That is a new one on me. I wonder if it even hits 1% efficiency?
