From what i've read its been around for a while, it's tiny allrigth its just hard to believe its going to be massive... 3000Hp from that complex mechanism in a reliable way... but hey, prove me wrong and i'll be the first to want one, on a bike! oh yeah

Similar engine designs have been around for quite a while. There is a similar one called the Tschudi engine that has been around since before 1967.

Here's a reference:

Rivals to the Wankel: A Roundup of Rotary Engines by Jan P. Norbye, Popular Science, January, 1967.


Also, LJK Setright's book Some Unusual Engines shows a similar design.

I notice that there aren't many in production, despite the fact that the basic design has been around for more than 50 years.

I wonder if anything has been done with this lately. I remember seeing it in 2006 and thinking how this could really revolutionize the world of IC engines.

It probably doesn't last long if it does run at all.
