this one will weight more and make less power than the wankle rotary....good idea but the 2 disks will cause too much fiction that the oil wont last long and there is a huge possibility of preasure being so high ill start to leak from the camber...cause the are spinning and not attached...

whoa, neato.
that could work in a low-rpm deisel application... just think of the compression ratio you could run on that, not to mention the unbelievable torque arm associated with the longer travel :)

spiffy.

too many problems with the design tho...

hey, ya never know :) look at how far the piston motor has come ;)

rotary has had probably 400million sunk into development...from all the companies who've touched it...

pistons engines have had x100,000 times the money sunk into them than rotaries and look how the renesis stands now....

another 6years maybe we'll see some serious money being put in to these engines...

only if they would let the rotaries back into the group C lemans class then its def see more devepoment money...
