six rotor?!
so i was wondering rotary sites and found this.
http://www.hurleyrotary.com/page.php...ntpageref=6265
at the bottom it says quad and six rotor engines.
i know quads exist, but a six?!
i've never heard of this and am curious.

I'm calling BS on that 6 rotor. I've never seen any other pic of it besides the one on the site. Does anyone know the story behind it?

that would be bad for a funny car imo but for practical use in a street or even a track car its just not. but would be cool to see in action.
