Paul,
Is anyone doing research into other fuel types with the Mazda Wankel?
Ethanol/Methanol/Alcohol?
What about Hydrogen and/or Dissociated Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) …..?
Over the past few years I have been working on a concept that would
potentially be able to produce copious amounts of DDHMO, and should be
comparable in $/joule to high octane gasoline, possibly cheaper. The
benefits would of course be the fact that it would be renewable, carbon
neutral and non-polluting.
Because of the acidic nature would need to be handled properly in the
plumbing system, fuel rail, fuel tanks, etc.

They will all work.
What is wrong with gasoline?

I would be curious about jet a jet p and diesel also? Have these fuels
been looked at? Also, thank you for your website and newsletter Mr
lamar. I foind your website a while back while trying to research
rotarys for an aircraft engine amd recently joined your newsletter and
love it.
James C. Reyna
Yes of course.
You should work on something that has a chance of success.

Pat Power produced a rotary multifuel APU engine that was used in M1A1
Abrams tanks as well as some civilian applications. Being military they
are required to burn multiple fuels due to possible combat conditions
fuels availability. They used a precombustion chamber to inject the fuel
into to initiate the combustion. There was also a ceramic glow plug to
also initiate the burn.
Then the very rich flame front came out the hole into the main
combustion chamber (rotor housing) and continued to burn with the plain
air. With these installed they could shut down the turbine engines used
for main propulsion as they are fuel hogs. Also the volume of hot
exhaust could be targeted by enemy forces.
They could then sit quietly monitoring the field of combat still
powering their warfare electronics and charging batteries and running
air-conditioning. Then at a moments notice the turbines can be spooled up.

Congratulations on your new email program. It is working better.
