Technical Article: 2-stroke vs 4-stroke engines

Article on DeepScience on the difference between 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines. Has a link to Howstuffworks, and uses nice graphics to illustrate.

I have already experienced the 3 main differences on Heidi's Trailblazer:

1.More smoke (burns oil with fuel)
2.More power (2 ignitions for every 1 on a 4-stroke)
3.Higher fuel consumption (see #2 above)
