Gnome video with engine specs

Here is a video of the Gnome running that has some specs on the engine with it. This engine is using the electronic ignition so no need to hand start it.
Note that some of the figures stated will vary depending with different propellers used.

I never knew the cylinders are what rotated on these things. That is just crazy, and impressive how they were able to come up with this well over 100 years ago.

I also got a little giggle over both the fuel per hour as well as oil per hour use.
I knew rotaries use oil, but having figured out how much per hour it used was needed for an aircraft.

Needing to use the windscreen wipers on the truck is a hoot!

I like the sound it makes when you shift gears.

Super late but one of the best engines in ww1 in my opinion!

Still using castor oil? I wonder if regular 2 cycle oil would work, like in marine outboard motors?

[carterbalch]

How did you guys do that with the electric start?

A good example of french strangeness..
