Saw interesting engine in Dorsal Power magazine last nite.  Navistar and
   Ecomotor developed test engine.  296 pounds 325 HP at 3500rpm torque
   over 600 in low 2000s rpm.  Call OPOC Dorsal.  Opposed piston opposed
   cylinder.  Struck me like the first time I saw the Wankle in Pop Mech.
   magazine million years ago.

   Opposed pistons have been around for over 70 years. Not even close
   to a Wankel.

This is different than normal horizontally opposed.  It has 2 pistons in
same cylinder opposed to two more on other side.  One con rod pulls, the
other pushes.  Very weird.  Magnesium case cuz no load on it.  All load
carried by crank.

Very weird, but impressive performance.  Net pictures you put in.  Thanks.
