p.s. My apoplexies if someone's already posted this...just thought it was cool & intriguing.

 

interesting....

 

hmm.. so its still a 3 sided rotor right?

 

Mmmm, diesel torque and rotary smoothness... too bad it'll probably never see the light of day.

 

Hmmm, did anybody notice that design was posted in 07?

 

^lol

 

That looks.......confusing. *This coming from a guy who is STILL confused about all the parts of the Piston Engine, and regularly visits "How Stuff Works" to find out how different parts of cars work.*

 

i fully understand how the piston engine works and the wankel and i get a general idea of how this one works but its still confusing.

 

That rolling arm would have some serious wear issues.

 

I don't feel near as bad, now. THANKS :D

 

This looks like some engineering student's paper for some class.

Wake me when they have video of one running rather then pretty drawings. I have alfy for all my pretty drawings.

Turns out they made a demo model out of metal! Sweet deal. Still want to see one running.

This seems complex compared to a wankel. Lots more parts sliding against eachother. I wonder how you seal everything too...

 

That's pretty cool. Would like to see it in practice.

 

That thing looks like it'd break/wear out real fast

 

It's more like a modified rotary engine, or a complex version.

 

I am so lost on this...

 

Many different designs of the Rotary.

Then more round the triangle becomes the more efficient.

Thats why the new 16x tips are more rounded.

 

i'd like to see it running.
