at my school we have senior projects and my topic is rotary. im suppose to make a research paper that 10-12pages long. im required to write this paper to graduate high school.

my problem is that i need to get 24hrs working with or on rotary engine's. so im offering my self as free labor so i can get my 24hrs working on your rotary so i can graduate.

it would be helpful if you are in the Seattle area. does anyone need help with there rotary i would be happy to help? If you need to contact me please send me a PM or replay to this thread.


thanks matt

 

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.

 

i'll just south of seattle and in a couple weeks i can probly use help installing one

 

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.

 

heres a link to a animated video of the Renesis . This may help you.

everything you wanna know.

 

You missed my rebuild by about 4 months... I invited all who wanted to learn. Good luck on the project.

 

yeah i have lots of those websites already and the animated video. i don't know any shops in the Seattle area that works on rotary's, if any one has some names of good shops ill give them a call and work with them.

fumihiko shoot me a pm sometime when you get the motor ill be glad to help you.

 

Hey ive got like 6 engines to tear down! haha

 

yeah you do. when are we gonna do that?
lets make a date and stick to it at izzy's monday night

 

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.
