Where can I get a single-rotor engine?



I don't know if this is in the right place or not...feel free to move it mods! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png

What are you going to put it in? I'm trying to get ideas for my 12A. Hmm, lawn mower? Heh, anything's possible I guess.

Formula SAE actually, I was just brainstorming...



When that 4-rotor Scoot vid was posted, someone mentioned that they (being Scoot) had a pretty powerful single-rotor car...I thought it would be cool to tinker with.



I've never built/taken apart a rotary, but a single rotor sounds pretty simple!

Some older snowmobiles had single rotor engines. As mentioned, atkins makes one.

So I read the Formula SAE rules really well: "The engine must be a 4 stroke piston engine."



Why does everyone have to hate on the rotary?

single rotor?!?!? ive heard of 3 and 4 rotor but never a single rotor, wouldnt that be like a 2 stroke? i got my motor from atkins and its treated me good so if they have one and you really want it hit them up. that would be sewwt if you built one though, a litlle over a half a liter of displacement and it actually pushes around a car (may it be a lightweight sports car) but still thats pretty good. i want to hear more if you get it. keep up posted! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

One of the very first rotary cars ever produced by NSU was a single rotor. I forget what it was called.
