The pure mayhem at the end of this video is exactly what gear heads live for. Absolutely epic

My father has been in the hospital over Christmas. He's been sick for the last couple of months. When it fired, that was the first legitimate smile I've had in a long time😊. Awesome work, guys! And Merry Christmas!

As a former engineer at John Deere Rotary Engine, this warms my heart. My engine was a 15L 3 rotor, could never have imagined what Tyson came up with!

Thanks for the little teaser of it running at PRI, what a crazy feat to make this monstrosity run! :)

[allanpolk]

That is the most insane off the chain rotary on the entire planet.
CONGRATS GUYS ! ! !

I keep reading people crying about how these videos are put together. I get it, you wanna hear a piece of art run. What some don't understand is the whole picture. It's not just about hearing it run, its about the journey Rob has taken to get to this point. The guy is dedicating his whole life into these projects and deserves to show us his accomplishments and be proud of them.

Uh oh !!! Christmas gift from Daddy Rob

[GANKINDABANK]

I didn’t get anything for Christmas and I’ve spent it alone but Rob Dahm delivered when I needed something to keep me going

[TheRoblam]

This is…I have no words to how incredible this actually is. A person I went to school with, Logan Carswell, needs this in one of his RX7’s. The 4 rotor I’ve seen in his car is pretty amazing and fast! Not to mention LOUD! Keep doing what you’re doing. It’s amazing!

[kuyper]

Mad achievment! Awesome! But (08:50) a "baker's dozen" is 13, not 12. The extra one is so that the bakers in medieval times would not be beaten for baking loaves of bread that were underweight; rather than risk it, they baked an extra loaf whenever delivering a dozen

7:20 is now the coolest thing I have seen on the internet all year! Congrats Rob and team!!!

[matthoward]

The amount of sure noise a two rotor produces is defying. I can’t imagine the volume from a 12 rotor!

[VGreggUndercover]

Just throwing out an idea. To prevent fuel from pooling up in the combustion chambers you might be able to install a "Sniffle valve" at the bottom of each combustion chamber. We use them in aviation to keep fuel from collecting in the induction manifolds, so I'm thinking a more robust design could possibly work in the combustion chamber itself. You guys are freaking awesome for making this 12 rotor monster run!

2:55 It sounds like a old diesel electric train starting and i LOVE it 🥰 Great job team Dahm 👍

[Exotic_Flash]

Legendary. Mazda will be inspired by this for sure. They never thought that the rotary engine will go this far. A single man with his team of enthusiasts did the unthinkable

[bakerkoch]

Proceeds to drop 1 hour video where the last 3 seconds show the motor cranking

Edit: @robDahm I’ve never been happier to be proved wrong!! I would love to see this rear mounted in an old pickup or el Camino on full display. Whatever you do it’ll be great. Congratulations, what an achievement!!

[Westie_NZ]

That's astounding!! Congrats too you, Rob, and to the whole team, and to Tyson Garvin. Truely amazing!

[Pitbike]

When the mad scientist puts ear protection on, YOU BETTER PUT SOME FKING EAR PROTECTION ON!!!

[brianrobinson]

OMFG THAT SOUNDED GLORIOUS!!!
I want to see this engine in the back of a Top Fuel Dragster chassis making a 1/4 mile pass!
