Just a thought, and I don?t know why. But with the renisis side
porting, or peripheral porting. It wouldn?t be very hard at all
to make a rotary engine run the opposite direction if a person
needed it to. I wonder why I care?

You are probably thinking of a twin.
It will run backwards but the internal cooling would be all screwed
up :)

It would work perfectly in a parallel universe.

Paul,
With a few of us working on billet machined side housings (with steel
inserts), the cooling pattern and bolt patterns could be mirrored and the
rotor housings mounted rotated 180. This would give a reverse rotation
rotary that had identical performance, both hp and cooling. Other stuff like
the oil and water pumps would have to be reworked for rotation, but very
doable.
This would provide a great twin set up.

We might even sell one :)
Then we will have to deal with the law of unintended consequences.
I think we are twenty or thirty years ahead of our time here.
Perhaps when I have my 100th birthday party.
First we must get 100,000 rotaries flying :)
