OptiMax JP
I do believe this has been brought up before, but I just stumbled on it today, pretty interesting tech:

I sure do like the stealth lettering on the cowl

We had a press release several months ago on this or a similar project. Very cool. I like the graphics as well.

they need to add more compression and the HP will increase.. JP5, Kerosine and other Military spec fuels are more like Diesel in their properties and require a higher compression ratio to build HP... I do believe that that motor has only a 7:1 compression ratio or less that motor with 10:1+ compression would eclipse the existing Gasoline powered OBs out there...
mil. spec fuels have more BTU potential thus more HP potential if designed ONLY for it.. that motor can also still be ran on gasoline it hasto to meet Mil spec..

um, the 250XS only has 6:1 compression... compression on 2 strokes is measured by when the exhaust port is closed...
as for higher compression ratio, yes, it will make more power... shortly before it goes BOOM.
this motor is a spark ignited engine running on a diesel-like fuel... it greatly diffrerent than a compression ignition diesel engine, so the analogies to a diesel motor wont hold water!

mil spec means bring money. its my business.
its a set of standards used by the military to buy items or used to produced items. the FAA used some military spec for items such as jp5, 10... fuels

because it is built for military and government agents it has to meat MILITARY SPEC.. and just because it is Spark ignited does not mean it cant use more compression but because it is built to be abused performance is not a prime concern.. JP5 , Diesel JP4, JP 8 and kerosine all have burn rates much slower than gasoline and also have MUCH higher resistance to knock and preignition.. thus it takes more compression PSI and staic compression ratio to efectivlly build it soly for HP..
