"is that each rotor generates two power pulses for each crankshaft rotation"

u got it the other way around. the exhaust phase takes 270 degrees of eccentric shaft rotation. it would take 540 degrees of rotation to make 2 ehaust pulses. the long exhaust phase is what helps give rotary engines such awesomely straight torque bands

Is it just me, or are 2 different threads being interleaved in this one? Some of the posts above read like they belong in the "Is it a 1.3 or 2.6 liter?"

wow - now thats a brochure - complete with technical info about the rotary and power curves and nice artistic graphics too (in my opinion).

I find this odd when thinking that 2-stroke engines have been compared straight across the board to 4-stroke engines in terms of displacement. That is to say, I've never heard of a 175cc 2-stroke called a 350, either by the manufacturer or 4-stroke competition.

In my simplistic thinking, displacement is displacement. Why should crankshaft rotation have anything to do with it? I say, Kudos to the engineers who figured out a way to get more bang with less movement.

1.3L
MotoGP racing: 500cc 2-strokes vs. 980cc 4-strokes
Motocross: 125cc 2-strokes are classed with 250cc 4-strokes
250cc 2-strokes are classed wtih 450cc 4-strokes

Edit: BTW, LOVE the commercial... I've had that song in my head for a couple of days now.

Not unless your area is England.
