What's the smallest rotary engine available? 25cc? 50cc? How 'bout a tiny turbo to match?



I've been thinking about tthose "put a motor on a bicycle" plans--and wanted to try it with a rotary instead of a 2-cycle. I also want to try that mini-NO2-effect-thing that the canned air does.

 

originally they had some small single rotor setups on morotcycles, but evidently at low rpms they ran very rough, so the project was scrapped

 

They make one for RC cars, that's prolly the smallest!

 

actually the smallest is microscopic.



here's a link, look around:

theres a smaller one, the size of a penny... was created by some university when researching fuel cells for powering portable devices i think.

 

not big enough for a motorcycle but i believe this is the smallest rotary

show me where to get the tiny rc car engine. i wonder if it would support nitrous.....

 

thats one of the larger ones to give you a hint.

One of those microscopic ones turns 40K rpms...I guess that C/C++ guy was right.

 

that guy was saying some drag motor turned 30k or some stupid ****, he was implying a mazda based motor did.
