Conjoined piston engine with eccentric connecting rods, less moving parts then a conventional ice.

This is a compact version of my Conjoined piston engine. A new type of internal combustion engine, composed partly of two crankshafts spinning opposite directions. They are kept in sync with a simple gear system. This is simply a different way of building the short block of an many as reduced less moving parts, higher revs, more power, and so on. This concept could be used in engines of any size or cylinder a one cylinder configuration is possible. I left out the main crankshafts counter weights in my animation so that the concept could be shown clearer, also an engine built in a 4 cylinder or configuration would be much easier to balance. And here are the technical specs....... There would be one or two ring gears (with teeth numbering 2x) attached to or part of the pistons surrounding the crankshafts with their diameter equal to the throw of both crankshafts combined or (2y). One or two gears (with teeth numbering x and diameter equal t
