Ok here is what I'm referring to:
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/diesel-two-stroke1.htm
It mirrors what I saw on that show. Since the fuel is injected in a diesel the intake charge blowing the exhaust out should be ok. It's just extra air going into the exhaust pipe--that's a plus in cars as it lets the catyletic converter finish buring any unburt fuel but that's beside the point. It should be just as efficient as a 4 stroke I'd think. Comments? As folks have noted some vehicle diesels must have been and maybe still are 2 stroke--I'd never known that. Seems having twice as many power strokes would be a good thing so I must be missing a downside.
