Hey all,

This japanese guy I work with at Delphi had all of these cool technical books written in japanese and I found this on rotary engines. I though it was pretty cool so I decided to share. Diagrams look standard fare but there may be some info in the words that are useful. Doug?
I do have a question about the diagram on page 19. You can see the rotor housing is straight on the old version and v shaped on the newer version. Just for weight or is there a flow benefit to this. Also you can see that water chamber on the side housings are different. Same question.

Too big to publish Rob.
I will deal with it when i get back.
Much of it has been published in english in
SAE papers. Some is in Kenich Yamoto's book Rotary
engine published in 1981. The book can be downloaded
