Interesting. It seems like that offset design (just from looking at the picture) would significantly reduce piston ring friction during the intake and power stroke while increasing it during the compression and exhaust stroke. I guess you would gain the most by decreasing friction during the power stroke, even though it is offset slightly when the piston is going back up.
I appreciate the explanation(s).
