Yes the show runs for several weeks. I will definitely be there with
   pen,
   paper and camera in hand. I'll go twice if need be to speak with the
   'right'
   guys.

   Everyone please get your list of questions ready.

   Hmmmmm ... just yesterday I decided that with a one half Lemans style
   engine, injecting fuel after the P port closed would be counter
   productive
   as the compression ratio would decrease encountering the cavity the
   injectors reside in.

   Perhaps I should have waited a day huh?:)  It just goes to show that the
   more I study about the rotary engine the less I seem to know:(

   I have heard from sources over here that the engine will run on
   gasoline or
   hydrogen.  I suspect but haven't confirmed, the engine is set up to
   run on
   E-85 as well. I would make sense.  The engine in the picture appears
   peppered with injectors. My guess is as follows.  It looks like a
   (green)
   fuel injector on the left  shooting into the side port, an oil injector
   above that,  two hydrogen injectors at 11:00 o'clock and the high
   pressure
   direct injector at 12:00 o'clock.

   With a small turbo this baby could clear 300Hp easily. Manifold may not
   clear the cowling though.

Doug you forgot one thing about direct injection. The hole can be very
small. The material truly injected after the port closing will make up
for any loss caused by the hole! A little interesting aside, when I was
checking on the Orbital air assisted (semi) direct injection. They
mentioned that several sanctioning bodies wouldn't allow the Orbital
injection because they considered it a minor form of supercharging!
