Thinking of going with the two cylinder design , unsure of it I'll be able to incorporate any crankshaft counterbalancing however or if i'll need to. But I like the simple path makes things alot easier manufacturing and design wise especially in the early prototype stages along with doing it with subpar materials , design , tolerances... I.E ... popsicle sticks , carbboard , plastic , etc... however for my prototype I need to get some new pieces because the one way clutch bearings i have are too big for my design or the other parts are too small...
The two cylinder model , I dont think needs an extremely heavy crankshaft like usual compared to multicylinder engines since its more closely related to a one cylinder in design. So i should be able to still have a decent power density the only downside is vibrations hopefully I can work something out and it be really simple.
