    Hi,

    Can you please explain the problem and solution of balancing when using  a
    cut down e-shaft  with single rotor 1/2 Mazda 13b engine.

    Regards

    Balance is controlled by these equations. The Wankel is not
    just statically balanced but dynamically balanced as well.

    In a single rotor engine the counterbalance weights
    must provide a STATIC balance for the e-shaft eccentric and
    its rotor and must also account for the DYNAMIC wobble
    caused because the static counter weights are not located
    at the mechanical centres of the rotor and the eccentric.
    It is impossible to do this.

    They must be mathematically sized relative to their lateral
    position from the rotor and eccentric centre line.

The Tracy ISO is physically attached to the flywheel.
Does that need to be brought in to balance equation  as extra mass to mF
(front counter weight) or mR (mass Rear Counterweight)?

Regards
Zahid

The rear counter weight is hiding behind the ISO.
