The Rotary Vee Engine Running. They start it with a drill and this the engine running before they figured out how to eliminate the smokie blow by this WAS inherent in all 2 cycle engines. The cure is the shape of the top of the piston. This one is turning about 5000 RPM and puts out about 300 HP and weighs 75 lbs.

This same engine went on to turn OVER 28,000 RPM. The guys just took off running out of the shop and it ran WIDE OPEN until one of the guys had the guts to sneak back in and switch off the ignition. It took about 15 minutes for the engine to spool down and after taking it apart there was NO DAMAGE to the engine.

This is the miracle that all gearheads and technology enthusiasts dream of. Everything you can imagine about this engine design and potential is TRUE and REAL. Nothing could be so GREAT - No THIS - THE ROTARY VEE - IS THAT GREAT. I have witnessed the engine running and I have met the man that invented it.

Thie Rotary Vee is a new Frontier of mechanical thinking. Are you BORED with conventional engines and cam profiles and reciprocating assemblies that like to fly apart? Don't hate plain oldreinvesions and engineering disasters like the ORBITAL and the WANKEL Rotary. THIS IS THE PURE ROTARY ENGINE. The Rotary Vee delivers and the more you learn about it the more you are amazed. It opens up new possibilities that don't conform to the laws that impact any OTHER ENGINE in the entire WORLD. This is a whole new animal and it has been around since 1914 or eariler.

  • You are Right ~ Frank Turner's Design was a Multi-Piece design ~ but it never worked right. Robert Sullivan took it and made single block castings using the Lost Wax method. I have one and some cutaways and piston sets. It makes 350 Hp and weighs 70 lbs. It will run on basically ANY Fuel. A trained mechanic can assemble it and have it running in under 6 minutes. I may post my 6th video Soon. THANKS

  • Wouldn't that be great for marine inboard?

  • @MrCwaigo Yes!!! I have thought that it would be Great for an inboard. I even thought about Two side by side and a third engine in the middle. Because of the angle the side by side engines would be turning a jet pump or an outdrive prop but the third engine would be connected to both engines and add more power. You get my drift? One on One side One on the other side and one in the middle connecting all three engines and working together to make MAXINUM POWER. IDK? THanks

  • Look at comments Gosh!!! You have everything at your disposal. From Texas A&M to NASA to British Gas Co to Articles in Maganzines from 1977 to 1986 - This PALES in comparrison to what they aer doing now with direct injection and coil on spark computer controls. This was shot with alluminum castings and spark plugs - WTF???

  • @speedtroller I am a fan of the two stroke motors myself, but still concerned about the oil burning with the gas... A question: is there a 6th video? Where can I find it?

    Watch out for those vans, and keep going!

    Best Regards

  • @dudaott I have not made the 6th video yet but stay tuned = it will be a good one

see all

  • Son of a gun! here I was thinking i was so smart by thinking up an engine using bent axis hydraulic pump, then some messing around on youtube a year later i find this! Why are these engines not further developed and in cars now?!?!

  • The original Rotary Vee engine as I understand it was designed by Frank Turner in Graham, TX and the design was bought up by Malcolm Bricklin, intending for it to be used in the Bricklin SV-1 sportscar. It had twelve cylinders and made 500hp but was half the weight of a typical V8 engine. It was fitted to a Chrysler Cordova for road testing back in 1977, but the company folded before the engine could go into production.

  • @speedtroller that would work well, but it would be good to have the engines not mechanically connected so that in case of a failure the boat still has some power

  • @speedtroller I'd like to know more but I would like to you to contact our website to discuss this further please use the "info at" Email address of "Studebaker motor company "dot" com" (one long word) website.

  • This one sounds much better, what sort of fuel does it consume?
