Sounds like snake oil to me George.

Yes I've got to admit it sounds like snake oil, but they looked very
genuine,
being the eternal optimist - I live in hope. It was on National TV News,
which is suppose, doesn't mean a lot !

Call me a sceptic but I don't buy unballanced energy equations. Perpetual

motion

is not a goer :-)

The engineer mate doing the rotary engine is of the same mind as yourself,
interestingly he's not fussed on the mazda rotary - he insists that there's
too
much heat(energy) being wasted out the exhaust. He wants max fuel burn
and the stroke is about 180 degrees. Therefore air cooled !. I originally
thought the design was unusual but have since seen it mentioned in
Wankel write -ups on different types of rotary configerations.

Could be that the Moller motor might be too, at least in terms of price

and

projected delivery date.

Too bad !!

How's your mate with the rotatory engine going? Any developements?

He's agonizing over the valves at the moment and has returned to his
original
tube valve idea. It turns to match outlet holes to release the exhaust. His
problem is how to turn it in the most efficient and cost effective manner.

He's not up on the WEB so I've been trying to find some suppliers for him
ie. gears/ cams etc.
