Rotary Powered Snowmobile?
 

Has anyone herd of a rotary powered snowmobile?

yip, got a pic of one somewhere...

can you put the pic on a reply

I have a 20hp 303cc Sachs single-rotor air-cooled rotary engine from a 1974 Arctic Cat Panther snowmobile.

Evenrude and Johnson also built rotary-powered sleds around the same time, but using 35hp and 45hp OMC rotaries of the same configuration as the Sachs unit.

outboards and lawnmowers were made too never saw a rotary mortorcycle tho.

just go here: http://www.der-wankelmotor.de/
I know it's in German, but it's probable possible to translate it.
All types of rotaries can be found here: from miniature ones (RC airplanes) to those used in cars, bikes, planes...

just check that site out, it's one of the most complete ones about Wankel engines (I believe it's the best)

Ya I used to have a 76? Evenrude RC-35-Q with a 35hp single rotor engine.
It weighed 900lbs. and went to 10,000rpm and pulled really hard. That thing was great.

Norton made a rotary bike

not to mention the Suzuki RE5

Well then maybe a chance here, i would like to be turbo charged and about 300 hp very very light wieght , running on pump gas 8-10000 rpm now does that narrow it down!

ooh that's pretty cool

anyone remember Tim Allen's race lawn-mover used Vs. Bob Villa?? That was rotary powered too.

Was it rotary powered in the show? Or after Atkins got ahold of it?

I have an engine from a rotary snowmobile, heres a vid the first time it ran substained. its now turbocharged, once i get off my ass, myself and some friends will mount the IC and oil pumpand throw it on the gocart

I really couldn't tell you. :dunno:

Norton has a newer version of their rotary bike already made. Check out this months bike magazines, not sure which one.

really? I thought they stopped it a while back

Ok now really does anyone have dimensions ,wieghts of the rotarys so I can see if this will work.. I was in Orlando Speedway last weekend watching rotarys making low seven second passes very impressive for 72 cubic inches. what does it take to make a 300 hp rotary ?

check these guys out: I still :drool:

well, I normally say search. I don't feel sick or anything, so, search. :rlaugh:



what are you starting with?

There was a thread a few months back talking about a new company with prototype rotary engines. I remember them talking about NA and turbo models and were significantly smaller and more powerful than the 13b This is the engine:

They had other videos on the website but i can't find it nor do i remember the name of the company

Tim Allens was a Dixie Chopper frame with a helocopter engine on it.

Yes, Dixie Chopper sounds correct. Atkins got it and swapped in a one rotor.

Did not get anywhere on Dixie Choppers or Atkins any info on the sled in the sand that is the closest i have seen to what i am looking for ! Thanks

I emailed them no return
