The 17 pages that link to Two-stroke engine, each with the reason it gives.
Internal combustion engineCompared with: It produces a power stroke each revolution, unlike the four-stroke cycle.
Four-stroke engineCompared with: It completes a cycle in half as many piston strokes.
Spark-ignition engineCompared with: It contrasts with the common four-stroke cycle, though either may use spark ignition.
Wankel engineCompared with: Both can exchange gases through ports, but only the Wankel uses a rotor instead of a piston.
Piston engineBroader topic: It combines gas exchange and compression into fewer piston strokes than a four-stroke engine.
Reciprocating engineBroader topic: It produces a power stroke every crankshaft revolution, unlike a four-stroke engine.
Étienne LenoirRelated: Lenoir’s engine used a two-stroke cycle to produce repeated power strokes.
Fuel injectionRelated: Injection can reduce fuel escaping through the exhaust during scavenging.
SnowmobileRelated: Many snowmobiles use compact two-stroke engines for high power relative to weight.
Valve timingCompared with: Its port-based gas exchange differs from the distinct valve schedule of a four-stroke engine.
Alphonse Beau de RochasCompared with: It accomplishes intake, compression, power, and exhaust with fewer strokes than the cycle he described.
ChainsawRelated: Many gasoline chainsaws use this compact engine design.
Giacomo AgostiniRelated: Agostini’s Yamaha title-winning machines used two-stroke engines, unlike his earlier four-stroke MV Agustas.
History of the internal combustion engineBroader topic: Its simple, lightweight design offered a distinct path from four-stroke engines.
MinibikeCompared with: Some minibikes use two-stroke engines, which differ from four-stroke models in power delivery and lubrication.
Petrol engineCompared with: It differs from the four-stroke cycle common in petrol cars.
Ultralight aviationRelated: Its low weight and high power-to-mass ratio have suited some ultralight aircraft.
