Minature Rotary Engine
 

I remeber a number of months ago someone posted a thread about a fully functional minature replica of the Dodge Viper V10 engine.
Has anyone ever seen minature rotary engines like this?

Not too many pics, but good technical setup at http://www.me.berkeley.edu/~kblam/mps/02-Fu.pdf

OK a rotary engine that fits in a 1mm cube, that's mini! Think anyone will come out with a turbo kit for that? ;)

Well, you can build a transparent model of a rotary engine!
Look HERE

Lol. Just get a couple of flies to buzz it every couple seconds should do.

Or a farting mouse....

Here's a 5cc 1-rotor:

I would love to put that OS engine in a RC car.
I actaully would have thought that it would have its top power output at a higher RPM, because some of the piston one have higher RPM top powert outputs that the Wankel.

actually, there was an article in Car Action a few years back, about having the wankel rotary engine in an R/C car. I can't remember which one it is though...but I'm not in the mood to look for it right now :(

If you give me the addy for the site, I'll have a look.
