Stelzer engine
Encyclopedia
The Stelzer engine is a two-stroke opposing-piston design proposed by Frank Stelzer. It uses conjoined piston
s in a push-pull arrangement which allows for fewer moving parts and simplified manufacturing.
An engine of the same design appeared on the cover of the February 1969 issue of Mechanix Illustrated
magazine.
