Abstract

Nowadays many new technologies are available in our daily life. Now there is need to change the technology of automobiles also. We all know that we don't have more fuel in earth therefore we need to design new engines which are light in weight, more efficient, more powerful, have more speed, etc. In today's market, people want all these features in only one engine. People are also using hybrid engines, hybrid fuels, electric motors, opposed piston engines, opposed cylinder engines, etc. Now this design is, new opposed piston engine in which all these features are included. We can get more speed, more power, more efficiency and low price as compared to v shape engine.
