In this video, I complete my year long journey to 3D print a proper, compact, high performance liquid piston engine. The design uses no valves, only ports and the alignment of the rotor to control airflow in and out of the chambers. And you bet I got it working this time around.

I also improve my dynamometer setup to collect data at higher engine speeds, and I'm able to successfully run all 4 engines on the setup to compare peak performance as well as get a vague idea of efficiency.
