hehe funnny stuff.. it says that some Rx7 had rotarys..
Loosers. !!!
but it would be cool to make one for a Remote controll car.
180mph hehe

Re: Why is the penny silver?
There are actually some "silver" pennies. Almost all pennies minted in 1943 were zinc-coated steel and appear silver.

There was a lot done like this back in the 1970s when Mazda first brought out the RX line. There was a model air plane engine and other small ones. The best, I think, was after some hobbiest read about the rotary in a Popular Science article, and that the rotor could have any number of odd number sides, not just the three that Mazda used, built in his garage a 5-7-or 9 lobe (I don't remember the actual number) rotay engine. It ft in his hand and actually ran! (But not while holding it in his hand!)
Someone that likes to research the rotary needs to check various printed material for the 1970's as that was when there was the most interest.

words smallest "rotary" engine... ATP synthase.
http://www.res.titech.ac.jp/~seibutu...ects/f1_e.html
This is being modeled in nano-engines to propell machines a few thousand times smaller than a human cell. Since ATP is found in every cell in the body, there's no running out of fuel for it!

“We are at the frontier of research into how to generate power using the smallest of components,” said Carlos Fernandez-Pello, a mechanical engineering professor who developed the engine
LOL! He's my research advisor! He also works on investigating the flammabilities of materials that NASA has/will use on current/future spacecraft. He's a real cool guy!
