Single rotor engine from a 13b

[Grant Monkhouse]

i have found threads on 26b\'s and some 39 b six rotor, but i was wondering if there has ever been a single rotor built?
  I wonder what kind of hp it would produce? in theory 150 n/a.
  With there being less moving parts, what kind of revs would it go to?

theres no such thing as a 6 rotor at the moment, noone has produced a crank for it yet, but it is possible to make

single rotor engines are used alot, they use them in small unmanned planes, they are also air cooled

here is a single rotor in a lawnmower, i think it made 110bhp in the end

There is a Lawnmower on youtube that runs a single Rotor. Atkins Rotary does the crank for a single rotor setup.

And on calculations a 5 Rotor is a possible setup too !

I think the NSU spyder was a single rotor engine - and that was a production car.

I have held a 6 rotor e shaft, i have not seen a full engine though, i have seen pictures on the web.

you have held a 6 rotor shaft?? where? as until now noone in the world has made one or even seen one run so id be very interested in where you found this

you can get single rotor go kart engines, there is a few vids on youtube of it... looks fun tbh.

Sad thing is the 1 rotor is probably pokier than my 12a lol :2Rolleyes

I don\'t know if I can say who has it, but trust me the shaft exhists and theoretical hp is 1000. Wouldn\'t be highly revving but would have huge amounts of torque. I will ask if I can say who has it and then we all
might learn some more about it.
  All I can say is it is huge! And I would be honoured to seeif it worked.

I have seen the gokart ones and they are brilliant, 50 hp I beleive. I\'m interested in a 6B (half of a 13B) would be awesome in something like a mini!

Single rotor units are used in aviation, if you go check out rotary aviation there are kits to build a single rotor - I guess for microlites etc I think I saw them on there, basically the kit was selling a custom counterweight to balance the rotor etc
