Looks like a lot of oddly moving parts with seals galore, however it isn't water cooled either.
Wasn't the Rotary designed specifically with Reliability in mind, and that's it's last attribute? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif If this works, I'll buy 4! |
"Frankly, rotary racing is probably one of the best ways to go because the rotary is probably the most reliable racing engine inthe world. It allows you to race rather than work to keep your engine running all the time." -Jim Downing, four Time Camel GT Champion and Co-Developer / Tester of the HANS device. |

Well, the Mazda engines are.
As for piston engines, I think the Bourke engine is pretty cool. It actually benefits from detonation and makes more power because of it. Or something like that. http://bourke-engine.com/ |
All this talk of other motors makes Dr Otto pissed

The whole intake/exaust side looks pretty messy - to have the whole block spinning just so you can have intake and exhaust seems a bit backwards, but on the other hand it makes air cooling a far better proposition. There's a big difference between a radical new engine and a radical new engine that works better than what we already have.

Back to reciprocating PISTONS.
Oiling the piston rings must have been a challenge - probably uses premix. |
