Objective
FOUR DIFFERENT MULTI-CYLINDER TWO-STROKE ENGINES OF A NEW DESIGN, RANGING FROM 100 CC. TO 200 CC. IN CAPACITY AND WITH DIFFERENT POWER OUTPUTS, HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED AND HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED TRIALS. THE TRIALS PROVED THAT THIS TYPE OF ENGINE HAS MANY ADVANTAGES OVER CONVENTIONAL DESIGN.
THE AIM OF FICHT'S PROJECT IS NOW TO DEVELOP, BUILD AND TEST A NEW STATIONARY TWO-STROKE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE WITH A CAPACITY OF 1000 CC. THE MAIN FEATURES OF THE SPECIFICATION ARE 5 KW OUTPUT AT 1,500 RPM, MODULAR CONSTRUCTION SO THAT IT CAN BE EXTENDED FROM TWO-CYLINDER UNITS TO FOUR-CYLINDER UNITS AND GAS OPERATION.
THE DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF THIS ENGINE ARE ITS RIGIDLY CONNECTED PISTONS, THE SEALS BETWEEN THE BASE OF THE CYLINDERS AND THE CRANKCASE, AND THE SLOTTED LINKAGE SYSTEM TO CONVERT THE RECIPROCATING MOTION OF THE PISTONS INTO THE ROTARY MOTION OF THE CRANKSHAFT. THE EXPECTED ADVANTAGES ARE A VERY HIGH POWER-TO-WEIGHT RATIO, REDUCED MECHANICAL LOSSES WHICH PROVIDE AN EXTENDED WORKING LIFE AND REDUCED FUEL CONSUMPTION WITH LOW POLLUTION.
THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE BASIC AIR-COOLED TWO-CYLINDER UNIT HAS BEEN COMPLETED. EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENTS CONFIRM THEORETICAL PREDICTIONS. MEASUREMENTS IN THE POWER RANGE OF 3.3 KW TO 9.2 KW HAVE BEEN MADE. THE MINIMUM FUEL CONSUMPTION WAS FOUND TO BE 200 GR OF FUEL PER HPH AT 1700 RPM.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
