Very cool. I was just looking at his youtube page, but didn’t see what the end goal for it was (other than “just because”). I did see they were looking to switch to EFI and turbos on it, since the carb was limiting power.

Confession, I hate the sound of a rotary.... I bet that thing eats fuel and think of the worn out parts.

I hate to be that guy, but this isn’t a wankel right? A wankel actually spins inside another housing doesn’t it? Isn’ this a dietch or something like that? Wankel gets associated with rotary since he was first, but the other guy removed the spinning housing and made it stationary which is the design used today if I’m not mistaken.

Regardless absolutely nuts.

This is a wankel. You’re thinking radial vs. rotary.

Don’t think so, radials are found on planes yes?

Actual Wankel rotary

from wiki

The second, the KKM motor, developed by Hanns Dieter Paschke, was adopted as the basis of the modern Wankel engine. [3] So the Wankel engine design used today was not designed by Felix Wankel, and “the Paschke engine” could be a more apt title.
