this is a copy basicly of an A6 GM AC COMPRESSOR

They could of put it in the 1976 AMC Pacer.

This is the kind of engine they use in the Predartor drones. They run at low rpm with alot of torque. It allows the propeller to be attached without needing reduction gears.

@tthhnnee well, i don't know why -- wankels just aren't as fuel efficient as regular piston engines. something to do with the combustion chamber geometry and the way the rotor moves. I'm not sure.

@EdwJenkins That has been done already.. and ran on a plane@ 80's check it in this video: watch?v=uJSLDq7MkhQ I am still trying to find more..

[tthhnnee]

@joffeloff Why would be not fuel efficient? Less friction, at least.

[paladain55]

it seems like it would have a bunch of wear on the center crank

[yumyumtofu]

wavey lines!

[FractalLogic]

Hardly a first, it's just a asymmetric iso-torus except for the even piston configuration.

[pyramonitor]

something from an old stirling engine for submarines, redone LOL

[FTBoogie]

Looks like its basically a horizontally opposed swash-plate engine.

I believe something similar was once used in torpedoes.

[Ebbonified]

Looks like that drive plate (for lack of a better term) undergoes a great deal of friction. How is the heat transferred? Through the shaft bearings? Perhaps an oil system with a heat-exchanger?
