found this on k20a.org thought it was pretty amazing, apparently it may be used in military applications
Hope this is the correct forum!

Interesting tweak on the boxer motor. Only watched part of the video though.

yea definately reminded me of a boxer but with the clear cylinder walls it was hard to see the valve openings and closings the guy was talking about, as well as it being hard to understand em, either way 4x the output pretty incredible if these ever come to fruition!

Interesting, but based on the design shown it would have to be FI since it is a 2 stroke design there is no dedicated intake stroke to pull a full AF charge into the cylinder. There are seeveral other hurtles that will have to be overcome to make this practicle.
