If you think NSU and Mazda struggled with seals on the Wankel, just imagine the headaches for that engine !!!

quisimodo engine!

looks like a verry complex movement. it kinda goes in and out as well as up and down then round and round!!!  :confused:

they seem to be targeting the small engine market. There is an application for a chainsaw for example. They were looking for an investor about 2-3 years ago when I read about this and they still are now so its not looking too good.

I think there would have to be some amazing benafits for another type of internal combustion engine to be developed successfuly

Maybe when hydrogen engines start to take off it will get some backing, as it said on the site they could use many different fuels H being one of them.

Which company is it doing a lot of research into hyrdogen engines, is it Toyota, or possibly Honda?

[MikeLMR]

erm Mazda have

search for hydrogen + rx8

[ScuttleRX]

lol, how could I forget that!

Sure another one is aswell though, suppose most of the companies are looking into it to a certain extent

Honda are doing a lot of work with Hydrogen engines as well
