So that there will be no misunderstanding about how I computed the OX2 piston speed, I took the 75 millimeter stroke directly from the website. 75 millimeters X 0.0394 = 2.955 inches. The piston moves 2.955 inches on the intake stroke. It moves the same distance on the compression stroke, the power stroke and the exhaust stroke. And it completes two of these cycles per output shaft revolution. 2.955 X 4 X 2 = 23.64 inches per revolution, the distance the piston must travel in one turn of the output shaft. 23.64 X 2500 RPM = 59,100 inches,the distance travelled in one minute. 59,100 divided by 12 = 4925 feet travelled in one minute, piston speed. 4500 feet per minute is the practical limit for racing engines, as a general rule. But the OX2 test engine must exceed this piston speed by almost 10%. The piston speed can be reduced by turning the engine slower than 2500 RPM, or by designing an engine with a shorter stroke. Or the webmaster at the OX2 website could replace the torque and horsepower graphs with charts which do not extrapolate the results into areas which would be unsafe for this particular version of the engine.
