Hello Mr. Lamar,

Want opinion on the Comprex - Pressure wave supercharging system in
terms of rotary engines.

The only automobile effort of note seems to have been by Mazda, not in a
rotary.

I don't think it has ever been tried on a rotary. There are fundamental
differences in the pressure cycles in the rotary intake and exhaust
compared to a four stroke piston engine. It may not work at all in
a rotary.

VW used it for awhile in a piston engine and then gave up on it.
