Question Biodiesel Rotary

I'm not trying to spam the site like some of members have been doing. I legitimately would like to know if anyone has any experience or thoughts on a project like this:

http://www.illstreet.com/forums/t485...el-rotary.html

I know I've heard vestiges of information regarding the topic but haven't really found a definitive thread regarding the ideas.

I don't think you'd ever get thhe compression in a rotary to get diesel (or bio-disesel) to work properly. Plus I think the shape of the computstion chamber is kind of counterproductive to this application...
