Rotary Demo Model

Got the prototype running well enough to show at Radwood last weekend. Very rewarding to see the crowd it pulled. Video of it rotating attached.

I honestly think I learned more about how a rotary actually works from building this model than I did from rebuilding the actual engine.

Very cool rotary model! It will definitely help a lot of people understand the basic principles of how a rotary engine works. It's a mystery to a lot of people and I have the younger car guys at work asking me how it works. This is a perfect demonstration model!
