I still don't like engines whos parts have to stop and change directions.
Really?

Like a two stroke or a four stoke engine where the pistons instantaneously change direction? The piston reaches apogee, then changes direction at some point the pistons motion did stop... even if for micro seconds..

Flywheels and multiple cylinders smooth things out..
