When Greg started the thread, this statement was made: "The current OX2 engine fires four times as often as a 4 stroke conventional engine. For every complete cycle of a 4 stroke conventional engine, the OX2 engine has completed four cycles. Therefore, engine capacity of the OX2 engine when compared to a 4 stroke conventional engine is calculated by multiplying the actual engine capacity by 4." Multiplying the output shaft RPM, 2500 X 4 = 10,000 equivalent RPM, which is the basis for my calculations. The OX2 engine is certainly busy as it goes about its business of apparently producing too much horsepower for an engine of that displacement. And busy little engines generally tend to wear themselves out faster than larger engines which operate at more leisurely speeds. But nothing says that the OX2 engine has to be run at the maximum RPM that it is capable of turning until it destroys itself. These remarks are in no way intended to condemn the OX2 engine to the scrap heap of broken dreams. There is a place for high output lightweight engines in aircraft and boats. The output shaft RPM is very suitable for any propeller driven aircraft without need for a reduction gearbox. I would like to see the OX2 engine produced for that application, but the next appropriate step is to prove the feasibility of the project to an engine manufacturer who can perform extensive testing to determine whether the concept is viable. In the meantime, the stock remains a speculative issue. Good luck to investors.
