I would like to see an Rx-7 built to this scale....haha

Check out the nano-rotors:



and here is the housing to go w/ it:


They also have a visible sized one (lol):


Lastly, there is the giant:


I found all of this at:

Don't sneeze!

 

And i thought MY apex seals were puny and fragile! ....now if only i could find a single turbo kit to fit it....

 

what are they used for ... anybody?

 

They aren't used for anything. It's just an exercise in engineering/manufacturing something tiny.

 

 

if anyone's interested. O.S. (and r/c car and plane engine manufacturer) builds a single rotar wankel. One guy put it in a 4wd 1/8 scale monster truck, and it would break traction from a stop.

 

I think I've seen pictures of that. It needed an alternator fan on the output shaft because it's air cooled.

 

Let us se some pic's of that installation!

I have the article in one of my RC Car Action magazines. No scanner though.

 

What number is it?

I knew about the OS engine (marketed by German RC manufacturer Graupner overhere), which is very well known in Europe. They've been making it for ages.
I also knew that "giant" but the really small one is new too me.
Anyway, the coin sized one wasn't just an excersize. They have been experimenting with these miniature engines to make small generators. Like a Rotary engined mobile phone Mostly for military use.

 

LOL,..... brap brap brap brap "General, what's that sound?"......... "Why, I don't know..its seems to be coming from............ the phone!"

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
