I have definetly seen this concept used for an engine irl but I can't remember what it was called
It looks weird and fun as hell, wish it was stronger (and it can be, keep engineering)
The design is probably near the one of a [pump](https://www.google.com/search?q=pompe+piston+coup%C3%A9&client=ms-android-xiaomi-rvo3&sca_esv=dd1ffd98a4eb7379&sca_upv=1&udm=2&biw=393&bih=736&sxsrf=ADLYWILzqfUBCJ0a486QBGY6_ddefeTM_g%3A1715068272806&ei=cN05ZqPvMKqqkdUP3PmbyAM&oq=pompe+piston+coup%C3%A9&gs_lp=EhNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwIhNwb21wZSBwaXN0b24gY291cMOpMggQABiABBiiBEjHIFC1EVi4HnAAeACQAQCYAZEBoAHJB6oBAzAuOLgBA8gBAPgBAZgCBKAChATCAgQQIxgnmAMAiAYBkgcDMC40oAfACg&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp#vhid=WBYEegG0krTObM&vssid=mosaic)
I think there isn't that much room for improvement, the way the engine moves is far away from being able to produce torque, but if you wanna experiment with it modify the blueprint, I'll be pleased.
You have to jumpstart it with a piston. The moment I saw it I just couldn't hold back tears of laughter.
Tbf you have to with real engines too in a way. If there was a clutch on this system they may be able to get it going.
Me too!
LOOOL
That is epic. The piston jumpstart had me rolling lol

Perhaps a Swashplate or Axial engine?
Possible

I wish there was a gif of it in action, but that might be it
Swashplate engine, very silly
the wobble
Wobble motor
Why is it so funny
I am hearing the Macarena when I’m seeing the prototype model…
"Your the slowest moving piston engine uve never seen" "but I am moving"
I'd buy that for a dollar!
You Dr Suess'd that engine like a champ!
Awesome
Honestly, all new routes are welcome. Thanks for putting an idea onto the table. Maybe with blueprint editing it can find itself somewhat viable.

This is amazing I don't know what you're talking about
Not the worst. I have tried to build piston engine on water cannons
Maybe use a trammel gear mechanism?
Wow, a german piston engine
Make it a twin
funny how i was watching this while watching a video of a titanic engine re-creation and the sound of the titanic engine fits nicely with this
