five rotor engine
Not sure where this thread should be but her it goes. If a proper e-shaft could be made would it be possible to run 5 or more rotors for more power. I've looked into both the three and four rotor builds and thought a five rotor build would be the next experiment. If any of you have heard of some one trying it please let me know how it went. Thanks

Okay, okay, now that I have stopped laughing quitely to myself.
REALLY?
And finally, IF a proper eshaft could be made you could make a 10 rotor engine. IF, if, if.... No one has seriously tried this that I have heard of.

If your using a auto lathe, you would have to write a program to make the proper precision cuts ->0.0005 (Astro Spec spec is 0.0001) because of the length and rotation would mean a great difference.
Now even if you have access to a full CNC shop, as do I, you would have an extremely complex program to write and to make sure the part works properly. There is no 5 rotor e-shaft to my knowledge, so the only way to make it would be by clearances and fundamentals of how the part works. Only way to see if it will work correctly is to test it.
Its mostly trial and error nothing comes out perfect the first time.

So there was a 5 rotor e-shaft produced. Now if you can get the the program for it on autocad or the drawings you can make a program on autocad to make one =/ Machining is not as easy as people say it took me 1 and a half days to make an L Bracket from stock with a brass bushing and a M12X1.75 screw... Somethig like this will take months.

Hurley rotary makes a 6 rotor but its probably really expensive

if you (and your engineering buddies) are serious about this, there is a Swedish gentleman (can't remember his screen name) currently building a 26B engine for his old-school Volvo. he built his own shaft from scratch. to be honest, the whole car is being "built" and it boggles my mind that one man possesses his skill.
anyway, if you search, i think the thread is in the Other Rotary section - maybe you can contact him and get ideas or tips on how to go about your 5 rotor project.
