When I first looked at a rotary it made my head hurt, this made my ears bleed LOL, but there will be a following like us. But they will not be rotor head they will be Quasiturbine head, just too much of a mouth full LOL

Pugeot invested in this engine for a small time as an experimental in order to get around the Wankel engine license fee's. This was during the hey day in the early 70's.

It didn't prove viable

I'm 53 now and I've seen a lots engines on the drawing pads and many that where built and ran like a bats at of hell, so fare nothing but the wankel has come close to the piston engine for staying on the playing feld, so my only thinking is "Neat" and thats all, ever heard of a Knight Engine, guss what car it was put in.........
