This is a 2-stroke engine modified according to my patent. It started out life as a 1950 Mercury outboard motor. It was a 40 cubic inch model KF9. (The very first model four cylinder engine ever built by Mercury.) Everything on this 2-stroke prototype worked as I envisioned, including the air/oil separator. I ran it both with a supercharger and without a supercharger.

Photos of modifications I made to an air cooled VW engine to make it conform to my patent #3,672,172. This is my 4-stroke prototype engine. It was installed in the Bradley GT for a while and everything worked as I envisioned except for the air/oil separator. I was never able to successfully separate the entrained lubricating oil from the induction air stream, and eventually shelved the project. I then built up a more conventional engine to put in the Bradley.
