@HesseJamez Combines the best advantages the piston engine with those of the rotary to produce a superior engine.

It must be hard to cool down...

Combinates the disadvantages of a piston engine with those of a rotary.

Now i understand

@micnossub Try Watching it! :P
-
@Lalo04051998 To understand the pistons WATCH IT! This ain't rocket science :P

@lacrossetechnology NZ represent!

this was originally designed by a new Zealander buy in the early 90's, he lives in Australia now.

Has anyone built a working model of this? I'm just asking because it doesn't look to me like it would work. I'm not trying to be a dick. I applaud the creativity of whoever invented this. On the power stroke, it looks like the piston is pushing against an immovable fixed point (the yellow thing in the center). If you watch the animation, the power stroke is slow as if the fuel is burning very slowly, instead of a quick expansion.

@Firesprink72 Do a Youtube search for 'Jerry Hale Rotary' to see an excellent working model.
Indeed the piston is pushing on an immovable object resulting in a tangential force which causes the piston (and cylinders) to revolve.
The progressive working expansion results in power throughout the working stroke with low structural forces which is generally very desirable.
