The basic Scuderi engine divides the four strokes of a combustion cycle among two paired cylinders—the left cylinder functions as an air compressor, handling intake and compression, while the right cylinder handles combustion and exhaust. In other words, the energy off the exhaust is actually doing some of the compression work for us.
