I don't see how this would work w/o rolling it over as the rings - like the caps, will bleed off compression while sitting too. It takes more than just fuel and spark, you need at least 100# compression.

Add to that the fact that a 2 stroke has a bunch of holes in the cyl wall....


Don't see how it would work on a 4 stroke w/o rolling it over through the intake cycle either.

All you keyboard/Internet engineers should go get a job engineering this stuff if you thing the professionals have over looked such obvious and easy solutions!

Wow, you guys get worked up quick!

Guess what.... I do automotive and motor sports performance for a living! I dont label myself as an engineer, but I do that kind of stuff all the time.

Here is a link from 2008 when ford started doing exactly what I stated.

My Ford Fusion Hybrid has it, you wouldn't know when it switches from electric mode to the engine except for the gauge on the dash, totally seemless.
