Also like a car engine, the mini engine produces exhaust that contains carbon dioxide and water, about the same amount as is exhaled by one and one half persons at rest. While this is hardly enough to generate substantial pollution, the researchers are now developing a miniature catalytic converter.
Looks like its doomed from the start. Just can't shake that rotary emission.
Good read though...

Cool
Its cool. I read that once before a long while back. I suspect by now its powering the worlds smallest FD and that they solved the 3000 RMP hesitation

You just gave me an awesome idea, if it wasnt hella expensive to make, you could make a tiny remote control car like a zip zap, of an rx actually powered by a tiny rotary engine it would be awesome.
