Who needs an engine rebuild near Seattle?

This is the perfect chance!

What is the subject of your paper besides "rotary engines"?

who came up with the idea, background histroy on Wankel, are rotary engines better than piston motors, what are the pro's and con's of a rotary engine. how does a rotary engine work. these are the topics i am covering.
I would like to bring a rotary engine to my class and show the guts but i dont know if anyone has one to let me use.

if you search the web for "how rotary engines work" you should be able to find a moving diagram. Then import it into power point presentation-- I imagine this would be easier than draggin in a hundred pounds of metal rotary parts. just a thought!

Also, if something doesn't work out with a member, you could always contact a seattle based rotary garage and shadow them for a day or two.

This reminds me of when I "mentored" someone in Cali for a similar graduation project. It was actually pretty funny because he had to interview me for like 15 minutes over the phone.

He just made up the "work" time and just faxed me the paper to sign.

But yah have fun with the project, if anything it'll be a learning experience.
