Looks like a self supercharging two stroke. Very interesting. You never know
when you will see a feature that in one context may seem useless, and later
in life that same feature will serve you well in another context. If this
thing was direct injected, you could bleed crankcase air through an oil
separator and it would be a high volume air compressor.
