I would like to tell you that I enjoyed you TC article in Kitplanes very much.
They would do well to try to get more like it.

If (when) crude and it products head past the $100/bbl level again
maybe your concept will get some traction.  The rotary engine is as
smooth as a turbine and with TCing approaches the power density.
With a three rotor with TC the HP would be in the PT-6 range.


My brother-in-law used to race a Mazda rotary and claimed they
were bullet-proof if set-up and cared for right.


Did anyone ever try to capture the CO and H2 energy from the
exhaust at METO using a gas turbine?
