   It was a 60 degree V-12 of 1,650 cubic inch displacement with cylinder bore and stroke matching the Merlin aviation engine, using an aluminum block and head; dual overhead camshafts, and four valves per cylinder. The intention of this design was to help Ford break into the anticipated large market for aircraft engines.

4. Five-stroke engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-stroke_engine

   In 1879, Nicolaus Otto built a 5-stroke engine which was commercially produced, but suffered from poor performance. [2] Two Spanish patents (ES0156621, F Jimeno-Cataneo, 1942; and ES0433850, C Ubierna-Laciana, 1975) describe 5-stroke engines identical to that of Schmitz's design, this engine had a fellowship to Burgundy University to be studied.

5. Roots blower - Wikipedia

   Above about 5 psi (35 kPa) the intercooling improvement can become dramatic. [citation needed] With a Roots-type supercharger, one method successfully employed is the addition of a thin heat exchanger placed between the blower and the engine. Water is circulated through it to a second unit placed near the front of the vehicle where a fan and ...

7. Scavenging (engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scavenging_(engine)

   Crossflow cylinder heads are used by most modern 4-stroke engines, whereby the intake ports are located on one side of the combustion chamber and the exhaust ports are on the other side. The momentum of the gases assists in scavenging during the 'overlap' phase (when the intake and exhaust valves are simultaneously open).

8. Otto engine - Wikipedia

   This engine used four cycles in its creation of power. It is known now as the Otto Cycle engine. This is the same engine that was first attempted in 1862. Otto turned his attention to the 4-stroke cycle largely due to the efforts of Franz Rings and Herman Schumm, brought into the company by Gottlieb Daimler. [7]
