A 2-stroke engine makes power every2 cycles were a 4-stroke makes power every 4.Hence 2x power.
This is absolutely INCORRECT! A two stroke engine develops it's PEAK horse power twice as fast as a four stroke for the reason given but that is it. For a given displacement a four stroke engine will ALWAYS make more torque and horsepower than a two stroke engine of equal displacement. This is due to the fact that a four stroke engine cleans the cylinder of contaminated (exhaust) air, compresses the air/fuel to a more efficient level, and draws a cleaner air/fuel mixture into the cylinder as there is no slow burning, air/fuel mixture contaminating oil mixed in the combustion charge. I have over forty years experience working on engines, and can tell you, the ONLY reason two stroke engines have lasted this long, is due to the fact that they weigh less than an equivalent horsepower four stroke engine. If they DID develop more horsepower, the four stroke would not have become the standard internal combustion engine used in transportation, generators, air compressors and the like.
2-stroke engines produce much more power than 4-stroke.
From the result of combustion during the power stroke of each cylinder.
the power stroke
In a 2 stroke, every second stroke of the engine is a power stroke. In a 4 stroke, every 4th stroke of the engine is a power stroke. Knowing this, a 2 stroke has double the power as a 4, in the same cc
In a two-stroke engine, the crankshaft completes one full revolution for every power cycle. This means that for every two strokes of the piston (one upward and one downward), the crankshaft makes one revolution. This design allows for a power stroke with each crankshaft rotation, resulting in higher power output relative to the engine size.
two-stroke engines can produce more power than four-stroke engines that have the same size. they can occupy small spaces and produce the desired power. they are on the other hand produce more pollution than 4-stroke engines. that's why they are limited or suitable for small engine spaced machines
In a 2-stroke engine, one power stroke occurs for every revolution of the crankshaft. This is because the engine completes a power cycle (intake, compression, power, and exhaust) in just two strokes of the piston or one full revolution, unlike a 4-stroke engine, which requires two revolutions for one power stroke.
2-stroke engine
The four strokes of a four-stroke engine are the intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes. During the intake stroke, the engine draws in air and fuel. The compression stroke then compresses this mixture, followed by the power stroke, where the spark plug ignites the mixture, generating power. Finally, in the exhaust stroke, the engine expels the burnt gases from the combustion process.
A four stroke engine has 4 strokes per cycle, whereas the two stroke engine has only 2 strokes per cycle. Since the 2 stroke engine has twice as many power strokes as a 4 stroke engine at a given rpm, the 2 stroke is capable of making nearly twice the power of a 4 stroke for a given displacement.
The combustion cylcle (power stroke) forces piston down to create engine power.
Four stroke engines are quieter than two strokes, but have less power.
