This is cool, but does a rotory lend itself any better as a generator than a piston motor does?

They’re much smaller as well as ones that run at a set
RPM can be much more efficient than a typical rotary.

The size aspect is an excellent point. Hadn’t thought of that.

“rise” again? sounds like a guy with a piston car

They had cordoned off half the is parking lot for the line to get into the DMV building. This is the overflow area.

The Rotary will roll again?

The rotary shall spin again!

The triangle shall wobble again!

The correct verb is Dorito Shuffle.

Service departments were complaining about BEVs having lower maintenance costs, so Mazda threw them a bone

Also their torque curve leaves something to be desired, but if it can just scream at peak BSFC it can be very efficient

I’m not as intimately familiar with the inner workings of the Renesis as I am with the 12A or 13B... but the old rotaries were the most fuel efficient at higher speeds. It’s all the stop and go of “normal” city driving that brings down the mileage. That’s one of the reasons that they made great race cars.

If we’re looking for alliteration, we can call it the “ Dorito dance.”

Technically correct

Very good

Not so sure about this one. Dorito wobble, shuffle, dance all good, but “flying dorito” is preferred
