LOL. That is stolen from the place i used to work at. I have tons of experimental stuff like that from both two and four strokes. It was cool how they filmed it because no camera has a fast enough frame rate to see what happens so they actually take one picture per combustion stroke and compile them into a video.

The way they used to do it was a thick-ish quartz window and pass film across the window at speed while the engine was running; you'd have the cylinder's burn recorded across a couple inches of film that was developed into long pictures. Crazy stuff.

cmon man you know they have to have some sort of glass that will withstand the heat/pressure.

Pretty cool though
