Oscillating Piston Engine

I guess it has been around for a while, but pretty cool never the less....

Reminds me a bit of a rotary engine.

Might as well bring back the Wankel too.

Interesting design.

Not to sure on how well it would work with direct injection.

Wankel

Actually I had a 1993 Mazda RX-7 R1 Twin Turbo Rotary back in 1993 and with the turbo controller and and a "few" ($30k worth) mods I was running just under 700HP on the street so I have a good deal of respect for the Wankel (rotary) design. However my heart is dominated by my 505/V10 from Dodge :driver: :thrasher::ridinghorse: arty:
