That's pretty impressive considering I work on 6hp lawnmowers and those engines are 10x bigger

[LSFord]

That is absolutely insane. I could watch it rotate for hours

[FrancisWiegand-ysxb]

Your videos have been a lot better and i like the fact that you’ll do a whole video explaining on topic

Drivingforanswers did a piece on this engine and the idea, design, and benefits are compelling. Lots of great pros but also has a few big cons. Like the rotary engine, it is susceptible to premature wear. Also, unless they figure out how to raise the compression ratio beyond 12:1, it will not fire diesel fuel. And it still isn't very fuel-efficient. and the shaft is very complex to make with the precision required to deliver the fuel since that's where the fuel and air feed this motor. I look forward to the engine getting worked out and being available for a demonstration

I want to know what happens when it is increased in scale. See what that puppy would do in a go kart or even a car.

It can brilliantly and perfectly be used for commercial use, i.e, electricity enerators, water pump, grass mower, chain saw machine, or even in 🚲

It is perfect for such small uses.

only 4hp from an engine that fits in your hand? Have you never seen a nitro rc car or airplane? Hell, a leaf blower or chainsaw engine??

[dimoichi]

I would like to build one for a 95 eg civic hatchback. But scale it up, add more rotors in series, and add a twin turbo setup. Would be ligh, powerful, and faster then anything comparable for its weight and size.

[Shawn_the_Protogen]

I'll be excited to see if they can mount a generator head to it. Military would love to see a 5kW generator that 4 guys could easily carry.

[Peaches.Gonsalez]

I would put it on a bicycle. Particularly by the crankset. And particularly to help with the power stroke. Might break a foot though.

[wduvernay]

How would it do with a turbo or supercharger?

[brometheusthefirstbro]

I wonder if this could use a different fuel to make this the new standard engine

[veR]

Want to know is it better for long term use or short term use then sales will sky rocket no matter the answer. Like small motor engines that don't need a long life like wipper snippers, go carts, cheap generators ect

[mauriceupton]

Maintenance is high rebuild every 150 hours.

[ShannonSmithu]

Coolness, the rotary burned a lot of oil, how did you overcome this?

[georgepeters]

Where do I buy one!? Put one on a chain saw!

[lesliemcdonald]

Yea not unheard-of.. i have many 350g weight single cylinder engines that make over 4 hp. 4.65 at 35000rpm and displacement of 5.24cc. They cost $200. And only 20% nitro 90% i can make 10hp from motor smaller then phone

[littlevukicvukic]

Can you stack them to have more pistons?

[lnDwrRr]

Well 4 horses dont fit in the palm of my hand...

[omnivore]

It's really, really cool!, but be real; without a fuel system, intake system, electrical system, or exhaust system it's 4 pounds and fits in your hand.
