While both are real, separate projects, Ducati has nothing to do with either :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

OK - so some-one built it and - assuming they have not (yet) been locked up in a mental institution - who, where, when, why, and -more importantly - did it run?

I don't know much about engineering but I can understand that there is a brilliant mind behind this design. Is the designer the guy in the wheelchair? (If yes he deserves double credit for his ideas and his life will)

I'll write it in italian to be able to make a decent translation...
Il manovellismo decondo me è un po' delicato per sopportare grossi sforzi di coppia. Un bel gingillo, ma se dice che il 4 cilindri finziona...

The rod lever looks not to be strong enough to work with a powerful engine... a nice toy, but if they say it works on the 4 cyl engine...
have a nice ride, Nicola

Concordo interamente con te. Il sistema è un po' troppo complicato. Forse più un esercizio di stile che non un vero progetto di motore.

I wish I was young again............Id be heaps smarter than last time
