Hi Paul, Would the Subj. plugs work in a Mazda Wankel?

You probably know it, but here's a link:   smart plugs.com

Would you add me to the AREN mailing list. Finally retired so maybe I
can get back to building some kind of amphibian with a Wankel engine.

Whatever happened to the guy in Wash. or OR. with the  Mazda powered
Coot and the Nitro bottle.?  I don't find him find him on your site (I
might be blind) or Richard Steves (sp)  Coot site either.

Thanks, Tom Pitt.....

This is a recording:
"Smart Plugs" are glow plugs obtained at your local Mercedes
dealer. Glow plugs have a short piece of small diameter tungsten
wire much like a light bulb.  Glow plugs are used for at least two
legitimate purposes. In model airplane engines and in diesel engines
to warm the combustion chamber so they can be started in the winter
time. Model airplanes require Glow Fuel. The word glow refers to what
the glow plug looks like when you apply 12 volts DC to it. Glow fuel
contains some nitromethane. Model airplane engines will not run unless
you use Glow Fuel. The way it works is as the piston comes up and
compresses the air fuel mixture and raises the temperature.
When the temperature, with the aid of the glow plug, reaches
ignition temperature the mixture ignites. Much like a diesel engine.
You have no real control over when this happens timing wise. On a
real cold day it is hard to start your model airplane engine.
This will work in a larger engine if you are willing to add
nitromethane to the fuel. The scam artist promoting "Smart Plugs"
and stealing people's investment money, or whatever they are doing
to get money, are not telling people all this.

Ken Welter is still flying his rotary powered Coot. He has
now based it in the San Juan Islands north of Seattle so he does
not have to drone up in it all the way from near Portland Oregon where
he lives.

Ken web site is temporarily down but here are a bunch of pictures.
