SloopJohnB 329 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 If you spin the rotors fast enough they form a semi liquified solid is that the same?🤔 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aardvarkash10 1,105 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 still has the inherent problems of the Wankel engine - thermally inefficient (huge surface areas that are exposed to the combustion process and draw heat that should be converted to motion); dynamically challenged seals that require total loss lubrication with the inherent emissions issues that this has etc. Overall I don't see any significant advances over, say, forced induction wankel - a point they make themselves in passing. Its clever, but not world-changing. Further, its too late. It required fossil fuels. This is a narrow niche market product at best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
