Hi Paul Lamar,

 You expressed an interest in the Ceramic Rotary Engine. The video is now
 available on YouTube to view and this is
 the link:

 Rotary engine enthusiasts might be interested in the CRE engine. If you
 would kindly send the link to them or have
 it in your newsletter, it would help "spread the word". Thank you.

 A second CRE Inc website has also been made:

 Regards.

 I guess on this one we have to wait and see more details. We really don't
 know anything. What seals, how the running
 surfaces are finished, cost, weight, fuel burn, etc. No cooling system seems
 intriguing.

 How far away form a ceramic Wankel on the market? The exhaust is likely to
 be even hotter, possible good for turbo
 compounding?

 Lots of open questions.

 With high temps it would act like a diesel with limited rpm.

This guy has a few ideas on improving the rotary efficiency, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3pCLjHZmhM&feature=endscreen&NR=1

This guy is clueless. He did not read the book "Rotary Engine" by Kenichi Yamamoto page 23 Fig. 3.12 that shows the pressure difference across the big spark plug holes is near zero.


The book is available here for free download.

There is only a slight loss across the trailing plug hole which is much
smaller.

It behooves one to avail oneself of all the available information.
Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
