Looking into for the future of building my own plan. I like the common engines but I just want something unique per say. Would a single stroke engine be possible in the case that fuel and air would be pre mixed and injected just before top dead center then ignited and burned for the down stroke/combustion. Before starting what would be the new compression stroke a valve would open pulling a strong enough vacuum to pull the exhaust and close letting the piston rise to another spot before top dead and open a valve with the fuel and air mixture already mixed and under pressure for the combustion to be pushed into the cylinder to be burned next?
