I just bought this book off of ebay for $5.00 shipped to my house. And i was reading the dust jacket and a few things just dont sound right. Here they are



Compared with a conventional engine



1. Is cheaper to produce (mass production as much as fifty percent).



"they are still being produced by hand, as stated in teh interview on rotarynews.com"



2. Produces only one third as much of the most troublesome kinds of pollutants.



"I find this one hard to beleive"



I think these two may not be entirely true.

1. theres fewer parts, less parts = less stuff to assemble.



2. its high in hc, but low in nox, and nox is key in photochemical smog. the renisis is lower in hc, too. actually with a cat and an air pump a rotary is very clean. its just that most of the acv's dont work well anymore
