Does that engine work on petrol / diesel at all?

It will also work on diesel...

But it's not a two-stroke diesel engine, is it?

It can run happily on diesel, but a side-effect of the design is that it can also run on something less common.

Elsbett-engine by Ludwig Elsbett, wow nice museum :)

The absence of water radiator gives him the reason. Didn't know this type of engine but it's quite interesting!
