    Abstract: An engine unit controller (EUC) in connection with a hybrid opposed piston engine can receive real-time movement data of a crankshaft via a crank position sensor. It can simultaneously receive current data of an electric motor that partially controls the crankshaft. With the known engine constants, the EUC can determine instantaneous combustion pressure data based on the movement data and the current data. Such combustion pressure data can be used to optimize the engine's performance in real-time.

    Abstract: A novel two-stroke opposed piston engine with sleeve valves and T-scavenging breathing is provided. The two-stroke opposed piston engine has a unique uni-flow scavenging breathing that can deliver higher power density than the traditional uniflow-scavenging two-stroke opposed piston engine. Furthermore, a method of operating a two-stroke opposed piston engine is provided. The novel opposed piston engine can be a hybrid engine with one or more electric machines.
