Hi Paul,

Has anyone any experience with converting a rotary to steam??

I'm working with a guy who is building a Pietenpol and has built a 3 cylinder radial steam engine for it. He is a 'traditional' guy and whenever I bring up the subject of the Wankel rotary i get subjected to a barrage of abuse and negativity. (It wont breathe, the apex seals will melt, etc, etc).

Does anyone have any Ammo I can fire back?? Studies done??

Thanks, Russ Ward


The rotary would make a fine steam engine.  Every third revolution inject water and
not gasoline. Eliminates the cooling system as well. Patent applied for.
