My sister is a book publisher and is putting together a book that needs a shot of a rotary engine. Well, since she asked me--and my RX-7 roots are fully FC, I thought I'd ask here, so that we can get a shot from an FC engine in the book.

I'm looking for a high-quality image of your FC engine--like specifically the engine rotors, or just an interesting close-up of what makes the rotary engine unique with "them spinning triangles". If anyone has an album from an engine tear-down who would be interesting having one of their HD photo's published, send me the link to you album and I'll check it out.

Can't guarantee a free copy of the book, but you will get official credit for the photo, which is cool, especially for anyone interested in photography.

Thanks,

~Erik

 

Really? No one has taken a pic of an FC engine that they want to see in a book? Haha This is a rare opportunity!

 

I would I had a worthy engine bay hahaha

 

I'm actually looking for pics of the engine APART , like showing the rotors.

 

I will actually be rebuilding soon so ill snap some for you

 

Let me know if there is anything you see that piques your interest:

I can also lay out a full engine build worth of parts to see an engine apart. No guarantee when I'd get to it though.

not HD but i got alota my build photos like this

 

Yeah, this is exactly what I'm looking for, just in slightly higher quality if possible!

Crispy, there was one photo that did pique my interest--the one with the rotor still sitting in the trochoid chamber/housing, like the shot above minus the E-shaft.

The book will be sold at Barnes and Noble and is about spirals?? Something to do with math etc. and the last example is the rotary engine! (Found this out tonight from my sister at Thanksgiving dinner).

NEED SLIGHTLY HIGHER RESOLUTION IF POSSIBLE!

 

How about this one? hi-res available. Looks a little blurry.

Do you like this one ?



Original has 2816 x 2112 px.
Let me know if you want a hires version

 

I think you win, its so shiny!

 

take your pick, same motor before and after...




sometimes i amaze even myself!

i've only got about 50 sets of build up pics, unfortunately that is only a fraction of the total i've actually done. but this was probably the most drastic from start to finish. mythbusters sais you really can polish a turd and i concur. i take it as an example of just how resilient these motors can be regardless of all the naysayers.

 

Yeah bro, that is perfect! I'll PM you for your information. Thanks.

 

That "before" pic Karack posted... Ugh... Makes my stomach hurt.

 

+1 Who barfed in the rotary engine

The difference between before and after is amazing.

 

+1 True that, before after really is amazing

As for the engine, I cant help myself but thinking about tigerjapanese when seeing such a motor...
