Straight 6 (sort of)

[zedevan]

 

quad rotars seem nuts enough, yet alone 6! wonder how much one of these bad boys is

[pauly_adams]

only one word to explain this. awsome

[dat2kman]

Hmm,

6 rotors

Thats 12 spark plugs

 

AND 18 yes eighteen combustion chambers!

 

I get how it is all done, BUT how the effing heck do they do the crankshaft???

 

It's gotta be going into a drag car, but why no Uleh Brothers in sight ? ( doh it's in da good 'ol YooEsAy)

[zzzzed]

How about this 12 rotor jobby then

HOW DO THEY DO THE CRANKSHAFT ??

[Zedman240®]

Must be one hell of an eccentric shaft....bit of flex?

HOW DO THEY DO THE CRANKSHAFT ??

 

Custom made eccentric shafts.

 

Kiwi RE is 1 place that makes them.

Oh,

I was thinking lots of BluTack, or 5 minute Araldite

 

Hhmmmmm!

 

Looking at my eccentric from my 13B it would not be that hard to machine one up on CNC

Housings would be fun to seal, dont think you could use regular hardware store Booker rod ( long threaded run)

I wonder if this thing is going to have some harmonic issues? I'm a rotor fan, but i bet this will be one of those engines we don't hear of again because it will end up having reliability issues and gets shelved.
