Rotary Fishtanks
Dave? Russ? I think you guys need to check this out. For the uninitiated, the rotary is an alternative evolutionary branch of the internal combustion engine family. With sufficient R&D it is possible that the rotary design would surpass the conventional reciprocating piston design in efficiency and reliability. Unfortunately, only Mazda has put any real work into the design, most of which has been in high-performance applications such as the classic rx7. Until now - Paul Cochrane in Australia has developed a fascinating new line of applications.
