Yeah, I’m thinking it would only work well at one speed.

“I heard spots on the radio today advertising the large amount and general availability of Canadian gas and oil. I wonder if there is a vote coming up in the House or Senate in regards to this issue.”
The Senate will be voting to ban general availability of Canadian gas and oil.
To: Red Badger
Did you ever have one of those? I have one that was a bicycle conversion. Still runs but is pretty wobbly with my large end on it.

It is amazing how the internet works. I found your post about the Shockwave Engine and now I'm learning how to build a
Rodin Starship Coil.

New car prices will probably be up by several million dollars by then. May as well develop nuclear power plants for cars.

They could call it The Wankel Rotary Engine....... I owned a 1972 Mazda RX-2. Nice power, but the engine only lasted 40,000 miles and blew up.

To: technically right
We had one.
It was a lemon. 2 sets of seals under warranty. Rebuilt twice.
RX4 1974. Spry. Fun to drive. 1 quart of oil every 100 miles.

To: DaxtonBrown
I think that’s why that propose it to recharge hybrids. The shock wave returning from the compression on the wall would have a narrow range of speed and that would force the rotor to run in a narrow range of RPM.
To: Razzz42
Like the Wankel, seals and gaskets are the problem or like a turbine, it only has one speed.
