If it is that easy to make e-shafts, doesn't it suggest a solution to the dearth of three rotor engines? What would keep an enterprising individual from adding another rotor to a 13B to  make a 20B?

Nothing except the need for a special intermediate housing. Make those
two items and you have it.

I seem to recall a fellow from Down Under (Au? Nz?) making a 3 rotor 13B.  Smaller and lighter than a 20B, but with very comparable power.  Big sleeper.  Woof.  Cannot find the link at the moment.  Have
you got it Paul?
