Whats it called so I can look for it again, I really want to see it?

 

I think the title was simply 'engine' or at least had the word engine in it.

It was a piece on engines in history and they had a part about the rotary. They showed the RX-Evolve and mentioned that rotary engine cars were the only mass production cars with no pistons. It was neat to see the rotary get some props on national tv.

 

I watched it @ work. Overheard some guys talkin about "How cool the rotary engine is." So, of course, I piped up and said "Oh yeah, I got a RX-7." They thought that was the coolest thing ever!! Go me!

 

The show was called:"Modern Marvels: The Engine."

 

If you guys want it. I recorded it and coverted to a 7.3 MB WMV file. The quality is good enough for full screen. IM me and I'll send it to you. Username Antiph3d

 

I totally want a copy of it bad !!! can you post it or something ???

 

I watched it, it was pretty cool

I will host the 7.3 meg video if you want email me at zach@thrashin.net

 

host it I dont have cable or satellite so I could not watch it Im sure alot of people would like to add this to their vid collection

 

It was very interesting. However, I was really dissapointed when they were talking about hydrogen engines. I know in order to make hydrogen, there are several ways in which to do it. They gave the most ineffecient and dumbest ways possible. I know carbon being released is a big factor when creating hydrogen.

Why not use Hydrolysis? I know it is only 50% effective, but we have shitloads of water!!!!! And there are Zero pollutants! Only problem of doing it is disturbing the wildlife near water areas. =)

I was just completely dissapointed when they never mentioned Hydrolysis. A highly intelligent scientist who fails to mention basic hydrolysis that was learned in Chem101. LAFF.

Rotary engines & Hydrogen = a great combo. =)

Just my 2 1/2 cents & comments.

 

i saw it too,,they even had a siplay of the t2 engine ,,i was like hey that is my engine with the intercooler on top

 

I sure wish I got the History channel

 

Very good info of ALL engines, but if you are looking for a rotary specific show........forget about it. About 1 minute of rotary engine info, out of 30 minutes (thats all I watched, I was pissed at all the publicity for NOTHING)!

 

what was the name of the motor they guy put on top of the cup of coffie and ice. I know it starts with "S" but I cant remember.

the rotor segment was too short.
but I was happy to see they gave Props to Tesla!!!

 

Stirling Motor

 

that thing kicked ***

 

I don't use IM so is someone gonna get this thing hosted? I saw it last night and was was cool, pretty short, but what did you expect?
