    Sweet! I would have put that as a radial engine, not a rotary (Wankel), but then it acts different than a radial engine. Very cool. I wouldn't want to be around it if something cracked or "let go" at high RPM. That's one helluva flywheel with a lot of energy when it's spinning! Very cool though, thanks for sharing!

    I wonder what kind of torque steer it has with the pistons revolving like that.
