If any of you seen a rotary engine ..and how small it is ..and how much power you can get from this small engine..is unheard of from any other manufacture...

A 2 rotor rotary engine ..is about the same size or smaller than you average FT wheel drive transmission..

I cant wait to see when I pull my engine out..I will try something crazy..maybe I can bench press it or something..

I cant wait to port it..and go turbo..

You cannot compare a V8 to a rotary...or anyother piston engine..

It wan't a V8. It was A Gas Turbine. "Similar" but still way different. However a gas turbine is all axial flow, with no reciprocating parts. A rotary, well not about the air flow designation, but it has no reciprocating parts on it either. It is a loose term when comparing them, but it is a lot closer than trying to compare them (Rotaries) to a V8. I let her read all my Gas turbine manuals that I from working on them. They are a very interesting enigine. The only seep limit it had (rpm) was for the blade tips not to exceed the seep of sound. came out to about 6000K rpm. The compresssor wheels were roughly about 4ft in diameter.

As far as what she drives, either a Dakota, or 66 Barrcuda, for now. We used to have a Neon and a Turbo'd Omni.

Yes more Industrial.

The gas turbine he worked on was in a Destroyer, Closer to an airplane engine than a rotary. A SMALL version of what he worked on
Same principle as the one he worked on.
