Hi, Repairman22, Thanks for your discussion on the split piston ICE. The main idea for it is the huge differences between the gas pumping exhaust and intake strokes and the heavy compression and power strokes for the ICEs. If we split these two functions the engine can run at 1/2 of the rpm for the same work otherwise it will produce 2x (actually 2.5 to 3 times torque). So the crawn section can be redesigned to run at somewhat higher speed with lighter system, since it just pump gases around. Basically, this design make an different hybrid of different kind. Other issues such as: 1. windows in the skirt is not away needed or just a litter cut is enough. 2. the cooling is much easier when stronger and thinner crown is used. 3.there is no oil leak issue if the piston rings are OK, 5. the "extra moving parts basically is the extra cylinder, i.e. i4 becomes v8 (or 2.5 to 3 time output), 6. The engines would run at half rpm, not the 1000rpm, 11. the push-down spring has the help by the the cylinder press at high rpm when the engine is loaded. The crown (piston-train) has about just a little high speed or the same depending upon what differential strokes are designed. The crown section is only to pump the gases around, which much, much lighter than the pushing the whole vehicle around.

It’s an interesting engine, but like lots of French engines and cars , seems to lack any consideration when it comes to maintenance or repair.
It’s like they though ‘how can this be made as hard maintain as possible?’
The points for the ignition timing are behind the flywheel. Completely inaccessible. Good location? Not.
I hate French cars, everything seems to be designed to be in the worst possible place, nuts and bolts go in backwards, and hit the chassis, but if they went in the other way they would come out easily.
It’s not accidental, it is deliberate. They want to make the repair times as long as possible, so they can charge 5 hours for a job that could be done in 1 if they just used bolts instead of studs, or studs instead of bolts, etc.

@repairman22 glad to hear there are still real people narrating, the amount of videos with no human voice are quite worrying from the point of view that we, as people, should still be willing and able, more capable of making a good, well read, pertinently expressed narration, with touches and nuances that AI has yet to accomplish.
I think, w.r.t. the 4 stroke comment, I was, as some people might, considering each of the 4 stages of the cycle as a crankshaft revolution, rather than happening in a downstroke or upstroke of the piston.
Thanks so much for pointing that out!
I have watched several of your other videos too, like Ford Model T, VW Beetle engine, 2CV engine, Titanic, I think it was, a fire engine truck, et al, and your work is a joy to consider, and helps one understand so much more than was once possible when I was a youngster, and graphics were mostly static pictures, with slight descriptions.
Best wishes!
