I was in the San Diego air museum on Sunday and took
a picture of a very cosmetic RR Merlin. Good picture of the
air to water intake heat exchanger designed by "Not Much Of
An Engineer" Stanley Hooker. It made the Merlin far
superior to the Allison at high alts.
That gave me an idea. What the high power Wankel needs
is an air to water heat exchangers instead of an intercooler.
Conventional intercoolers require a lot of bulky air plumbing.
The well integrated Merlin version is about one cubic foot for 1500 HP
so something like half of that ought to work for a 650
HP Wankel. Then you will need a another small water pump
and another small rad.
All you guys with cell phones may have trouble seeing this with
more than
one picture. Android is not up to it. I can't wait to get Linux in
my new $125 (Walmart) Pumpkin Phablet :-)

Picture of the magazine cover looks exactly the same from my pc and
my android.
What am I missing?

My mistake. The other seven pictures.
I'll try that again. Here they are.
