Hi,

I'm Rich.

I live in Charleston, SC. I'm interested in reading about rotary cars. I work as an Aerospace Engineer, so I can appreciate innovative and interesting Engineering.

I previously restored a 1967 Mustang. After awhile, I wanted something different, and got into Japanese sports cars with a 3000GT. Now I'm doing some research to try a new restoration product with a different Japanese car. The 3000GT was a wonderful car. But I have the itch for something faster and sportier, and I guess more impractical! So I'm here reading things that might be useful for a car that I might be interested in.

 

Welcome Rich. I am William being an engineer you will find both the RX-7 and the rotary engine that hums within it to be quite spectacular. Happy hunting Rich.

Hi,

Welcome to the forum!

 

Hello Rich and Welcome to the forum. I'm Ron.

crush5520 there is such a book....I actually had borrowed it from my of all places college library.

 

There is a book written in the 80s on the development of the mazda rotary. Has a lot of formulas on how the peritrochoid shape was created and the reasons behind the design. It's called "Rotary Engine" by Kenichi Yamamoto.
