I'm not talking about removing pistons or anything, so the primary balance would remain the same. And I'm not talking about getting rid of half the power either. This design, while removing half of the combustion events, would add twice as many expansion cycles. If all went well, there would only be a 30% or so loss of power. And of course, increased efficiency.

Just an idea.
