   For those of you that could not makeit.
   The video itself is too big to publish.

   This will give you a feel for what it was like.
   The slides are also included.

Looks impressive Paul, you mentioned an improvement in BSFC, how much of an improvement would this ignition likely give the rotary

Alex


I don't know yet but I would be happy to see a BSFC drop from .47 to .46.
That would mean I was on the right track.

I suspect it is an internal aerodynamic problem in the combustion chamber.

I would like to do some pressure measurement on the surface of the rotor
with blue tooth data transfer while the rotary was being rotated by
an electric motor. I think a sharp corner at the leading edge of the bath
tub may have an effect. I'll do a 3D soon to illustrate.
