Reversible alpha model??
Posted: Sun Apr 09, 2017 8:27 pm
This model on eBay is marketed as reversible:
'Designed in Dual heating tube which works in "alternative" - when one tube is heating, another tube will work as radiation, it works in alternative and engine running in reversible direction.'
It's a 90v alpha. Would the displacement offset 90 degrees in one direction and 270 in the other not work?
I suspect the real reason for the crown pistons on both sides is improved cooling...
