Hi Group:

Is it possible to quantify the diminished smoothness of
the single rotor engine over the std. 2 rotor engine.
One of our helicycle builders group had some concern
that the power pulses of the single rotor could in time
degrade the transmission gears.  BTW, the transmission
is of very high quality and there would be a 6 vee belt
link between the engine and trans.

TIA

The dotted line is the torque fluctuations of the one rotor.
Very severe to say the least.
