what the hell is that from.

 

that is one big *** rotor. i'd like to see the engine that came out of. lol im sure its just a large scale model to show detail for lesser students on the rotaries.

 

SWEET!

 

i heard they made bigass engines for garbage trucks but i'm too lazy to do a search right now.

but i bet you could probably knock someone out with an apex seal!!

 

It could be from a airplane engine somebody was fiddling with!

 

i think that thing would outweigh the whole plane

 

What do you use to press that bearing out...?!

And it looks functional! It has its own design for the cooling, check out the grooves.

That may be from an Ingersoll-Rand IR-2500, a 41 liter rotary engine.

could be. i know they use rotaries in some tank applications (like the ones that go *boom*) of course, they are a bit more heavy duty than what is in our cars.

 

wow, 31.5L out of one rotor...what the hell is that used for?? airplane or a tank perhaps??? thats just psycho.

 

Maybe an airplane? Curtiss-Wright manufactures (manufactured?) airplane engines. But they also made industrial engines, I think. Their website didn't mention the RC1-1920, but they did say that they held the US patent on the rotary for a while.

According to the German site, the IR-5000 was 2 rotors x 41 liters per rotor. Impressive, but a little less so if it doesn't move anything.

 

i wanna stand next to that thing when it's running!

 

Or at least try.
