This is from "Stratified Charge Rotary Engine Critical Technology
Ennoblement Volume I" Page 253
It is a chart comparing a 400 HP John Deere rotary with a PT6.
The PT6 weighs close to maybe 600 to 900 pounds.
Cost well over $100,000 dollars.
Fuel burn probably .6.
Fuel burn on the rotary .5. 17% better.
Rotary weight with gear box 250 pounds.
Add another 30 pounds for the cooling system.
I put in the TTC 2 rotor engine.
Imagine a Mazda 3 rotor with the same boost. :-)
Of course we are running Methanol so subtract a couple of hundred
to run on gasoline.
