interresting, another interesting egine is the quasi turbine. It uses 4 sided collapsing rotor and can run deisel as well.
The fact that the regtech egine has 24 cumbustion event per rotating is cool. I wonder if it has the same lack in torque as the wankel.
2 to 3 time the power of the common wankel with half the weight? Gimme all the weight and I'll try it out in my rx7.

That's what I was toying around with mentally, adapting one to an Rx-7. I think the Moller Skycar uses a version of the rotary that looks interesting also. I have to wonder if Mazda has ever looked at any of these innovative approaches to the rotary. They probably aren't looking kindly at spending big development money on something like the rotary with a fairly limited appeal.

thats a pretty neat idea. I looked at several designs my senior year in highschool.

The sky car uses a custom wankel but it is a wankel and opperates with the same principles as ours I believe.
