 Attached are a couple of files that appear to indicate progress with a
 direct injected multifuel approach.

 The first is of most interest, because if the Wankel SuperTEC KMM502 and
 KMM503 make it to production, they may instantly become a very cost
 effective source of an engine. Â More and more photos of this design
 appear to be emerging on the WWW.

 The second file was captured from a Russian web page. Of interest to me
 is the information about ceramic coatings.

 Just wanted to share this with our "Rotary" community.

 Do you have a link for that Korean pdf John? Too big at 2.7 meg to
publish
 on here.

 We have had bad luck with ceramic coatings coming off and
 destroying the rotor housings.

 ----------------------------------

 Also those engines appear to be charged cooled like the Rotamax.
 I don't know how many charged cooled engines people need to make
 before they figure it out that charge cooling is not the best way to
 design a Wankel engine. I predict this company will turn out
 to be a loser. Charge cooling is giving the Wankel rotary engine
 a bad name.

 -------------------------------------------

 I watched all the videos on the web site
 http://www.lmlkorea.com/ and it may not be charged
 cooled. It has plain journal bearings. That implies an oil
 cooled rotor like the Mazda. If they make it.... it
 might be a dream come true. It has a unique combustion chamber shape
 and direct injection. Who knows? They might pull
 it off.

It's interesting that KKM502 is listed as an NSU product here:

Matt-


KKM502 *IS* a NSU Product. I was there.

WST spells it Kkm502. (copycats)

I uploaded the video to youtube.

Do you see any changes from the original KKM 500?
