2-stroke diesel is the (near) future?

Actually, it is Otto, as in 4-stroke spark ignition.

Dude, MJC was Joking

Well if you're going to get picky, it's "Auto" engine, not "Otto" engine.


No, the spark-ignition cycle is the Otto cycle. Yes, most Auto engines
are Otto engines, but don't let that confuse you.

Wandering aimlessly about the Web, I heard Sport Pilot say:
You have most of it right. Some things you have wrong,

1. Desiel injection timing is differant than on an Otto engine. The
fuel is injected during the intake cycle on the Otto engine and the
fuel is injected during the ignition cycle on the Desiel. On the
Desiel the fuel injection cycle starts just before TDC and ends well
after TDC. The fuel ignites as soon as it hits the hot air.

etc., etc. --- SNIP ---

No, it is OTTO, named after the guy who invented the "otto cycle"
engine - just like Diesel is named after the guy who invented the
compression ignition or "diesel cycle" engine.

A compression ignition engine is not always a Diesel engine. Not sure
if Mr. Diesel invented comprssion ignition, but they used to be common
for model aircraft. Though called Diesel's modelers are often reminded
they are not really Diesel's.

It is NOT auto engine it IS Otto engine, dont belive?
Google for Otto engine and see for yourself.
And pardon me for bad spelling I am not fluent in
your language.

So what I often transpose letters. I don't spend time proofreading
something as trivial as a usenet messsage.
