Aluminum Housing
 
Hey guys,
Doing a term project on rotary engine developments using "strange materials." What I am looking for is a picture I saw a few months ago of a guy holding up a renesis housing (correction, I think it was the whole engine and weighed like 88lbs) with just his arms. It was made of aluminum if I remember correctly... Does anyone have this saved or have a link to the information? I have searched for the last hour on this site and google with no luck.

Thanks for your help! In exchange (since I feel I should post something when asking for help) My favorite new picture of my 8...

Curious about the "just his arms" part... Was he not using hands? lol... Just wondering if that last part was an important detail or it's just a dude holding a housing.

Fair enough... No it was a guy holding up an entire engine (corrected that) that had been made from aluminum or something similar... unless I imagined it; which would be highly unfortunate.

whole engine? hmm... I can see someone picking up and 88 lb engine, but that seems too light I would think, even for aluminum. I'm sure someone else would have better input about it than me. I would like to see more info/pictures if this was real.
