A Pivital Occurance?

Think they ought'a spell it "Piv'tal" or sumtnin' like that: be able to soak the Neu'vo Sucker-Riche', that'a way. The Bozo-Wealthy, love that "Sor-tae' Shee't!"

I think the 250lbs/260hp sport bike, you're talking about, would be a great idea! Throw-in a 25% dicount and attractive financing, for anyone with an I.Q. under 110, and you just-might save the Human Race.



Other than that, legalizing post-54th-Trimester abortions, could be a pretty good idea.

This is the first time I've seen or heard of the the pivotal-piston, but seeing the website-illustrations has my mind reeling.



Motion is stablized, but surface-area is greatly-increased and as you inferred it would seem possibly- more-difficult to contain the combustion gasses.



Then, I get into all the different ways the top-connecting-point of the connecting-rod, might travel-horizontally along the horizontal, and all the different ways that might be used to adjust the Torque/Power curves (possibly on the fly) and I really start going NUTS.



Anyway, if they ever get it to work it'll be cool, but right now I have my doubts...and a Hellava-Head-Ache!

While everything is stable, the cylinder is on a curve: metal expansion and radial torque; would heat cause those things; and could either of two things cause damage, or catastrophic failure?

Lotsa heat, lotsa forces, lotsa surface area to bend, twist, warp and expand...Gotta Wonder!
