A two stroke engine fires (an explosion in the motor) twice as often as a four stroke. A stroke is every time the piston in the engine changes direction. (From up to down) A two stroke engine fires every time the piston comes to the top where a four stroke will fire every other time. So if two single cylinder engines are running at 1,000 RPMs a two stroke will fire 1,000 times a four stroke will fire only 500 times. With twice as many explosions it will be hotter.

Coolant rotary engine?

please be more specific, but in short - coolant system and coolant used is the same as any other car. rotary's do run hotter than piston engines on generally speaking.


Can a nitro RC car run on gas i am a beginner?

No. Nitro engines are a two cycle engine that are specifically designed to run on specialized nitro mixes. Most gasoline engines are more complex four cycle engines. If you use the wrong fuel in either type of engine, it could ruin your expensive equipment.


Why does a four cycle engine run cooler than a two cycle engine?

4 Cycle engines have a bigger block = more area to displace heat, they usually run at a slower RPM, and they only fire 1 time to every 4 strokes, and a 2 cycle fires every time the piston comes up.it have water coolent so it cool faster


Why do most very large engines operate on two stroke cycle?

very large is the keyword here. for a very large engines that runs large machines, we need high power engines. two-strike cycle engines produce more power than 4-stroke cycle engines. that's why they are used. as they produce more pollution than 4-strokes, they must be limited to small spaced engines machines or large machines that required very high power.


Why does 2 cycle engine run-on?

2-stroke engines run on a gas-oil mixture put directly into the gas tank. They do not have a crankcase that holds oil separately like most normal 4-stroke engines.


Which gets hotter PS3 or PS3 slim?

The Fat PS3 uses more power than the Slim PS3 and will run much hotter


If you have a internal combustion engine and it was operating at peak horse power if you were to lean the engine out would cylinder temperatures increase or decrease?

Engines always will run hotter the leaner they are.


Does antifreeze make engines run hotter?

No. Anti freeze is mixed with water and goes into the radiator. It protects the cooling system from corrosion and from getting frost damage if it's cold.


When gases are used as fuel in green engine then on which cycle green engine works?

That question makes no sense. Green is a very broad term used to indicate an individuals opinion about the efficiency or even moral character of just about anything. Most engines run on a cycle that can be modeled in thermodynamics as an otto cycle (typically using gasoline). Some engines run on diesel cycles. Every engine company on the planet uses the word green as a descriptive term of their engine because it sounds a heck of a lot better than brown.
