Paul,
You have previously provided graphs that depict the high torque
reversals of reciprocating engines compared to the Rotary which has none
( or very little).

Advice ( from X-treme rotary) to me is the opposite for a single rotary
where there are serious torque reversals. I just can't seem to get my
mind around this. Do you have any graphs on the single rotor performance
compared to the reciprocating engine, in this regard.
Also do you have any opinions in this regard.

It would appear that Tracy's dampers are not the most suited to the
single rotor and  a more stiffer and more centralized ( single center)
damper may be more suited.
Any opinion!?

Tracy's approach is easier to tune and stronger. You tune them by changing
either the durometer of the rubber bushing or by increasing it size.
My recommendation for a one rotor is a larger rubber bushing with a softer
durometer to halve the resonant frequency while allowing more
deflection.

The dotted line is the torque var for a one rotor.
