Andmoottori

Andmoottori is a type of internal combustion engine. It is reminiscent of a standard two-stroke engine but features an individual combustion chamber for each cylinder. In an andmoottori configuration, the traditional crankcase is omitted in favor of a housing that integrates the combustion chamber with each individual cylinder.

The primary difference between andmoottori and a standard piston engine is the integration of the combustion chamber into the cylinder. This results in a reduction in the complexity of engine components necessary for the transfer of energy from the piston to the crankshaft. However, it also typically requires the addition of custom rod end components for effective interconnection between the pistons and the crankshaft.

The incorporation of individual combustion chambers allows for air-fuel mixture to be provided directly to each piston's combustion chamber. This can influence thermal efficiency, an area of improvement for the design compared to more traditional engine configurations. Also notable is the andmoottori's similarity in layout to a two-stroke engine, although it benefits from the andmoottori's characteristic high power-to-weight and efficiency advantages.

Research into the andmoottori is highly specialized, typically taking place in academic and research environments that have addressed specific regions of its engine development process. Applications of the andmoottori currently exist primarily in certain specialized industries such as aerospace. To date, commercial adoption has been minimal.
