This is a rotary piston engine that is 11.5" wide and 18" diameter and has a displacement of 4181cc. It has one intake port, one combustion chamber, one injector, one spark plug one power port and one exhaust port.
There are possibly as many different ways to build an
engine as their are people trying. I have been looking at other peoples
designs for more than 25 years. Many of them are mechanical works of
art. Though they usually take the simple design of the Otto Cycle and
turn it into a symphony of parts that become a manufacturing nightmare,
something that would be difficult to build or impractical or impossible
to seal.
My engine design is better for many reasons. These include:
Split cycle
All of the parts have history
Overall easier to
manufacture parts
Easier to assemble
One combustion chamber
One spark plug
One fuel injector
No valve train
Fewer moving parts
Fewer overall parts
Longer time for intake stroke
Longer time for combustion
Longer time for power stroke
Longer time for exhaust stroke
Less oil windage
Smaller physical footprint
per cc
Smaller
carbon footprint per cc
Lighter per cc

Power/Torque
Have you tested it for horse power and torque? Just curious what kind of power it makes compared to the rotary used by Mazda. Also what kind of cooling system does it use. looks totally enclosed so I'm guessing liquid cooled?

Rotary with pistons?
Just stick with the original 13b bridgeported Rota by mazda.
