[SEL] The McVickerish Engine and video

[Kangas, James G.]

How did the Aeromotor hold the exhaust valve open for 5 strokes? Venting the cylinder that way does make sense from a cooling stand point.

An advantage to holding the exhaust open is the cooling effect of the air in and out, Aeromotor 8 cycles took this to the extreme, intake, compression, power, 5 strokes with exhaust open. When you compress air you're making heat as in a Diesel. Kinda strange, is it OK to talk about engines on this list?
