Single cylinder. Fitted to cars in the late 19th century.
What about the beast that featured in the children's classic 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'.
Someone told me it was two straight eights end to end and that it did really shift.
Dont they join 2 engines together along the crank quite a lot? The Veyron is a joined twin V engine if I've read that right?
Are Rotary engines multiple combustion chambers (Cylinder?!?!?) or is it just one chamber around a crank.
Sort of yes the Veyron is a W16. Rotary engine are very complex. I can't explain this one so i'll leave it to someone who will make sense.

(I've hopefully removed the doubles.) Wow it's quite a lot although I think there are some multiple engine configurations listed that are technically too similar to be counted as different engines and the Deltic crept in as well.
This has been quite an interesting thread. If we have missed any engines out then mention them here.
I think we should add Malcs 2 stroke disel engine as well whilst we are at it.
