Mythbusters: Hurley 6 Rotor
It seems that there is more information on Bigfoot than this thing. My impression is that there is in fact no working 6 rotor, no crank, anything.
Does anyone have information that says otherwise?

For a "six rotor" you could even lay eccentric shafts in there so you could fully dress it, and they wouldn't hit each other. I don't think there'd be enough room to do that with a "five".
Just don't let anyone try turning the flywheel or the pullies!

Definitely interesting... According to this guy's page, he visited Hurley in 2001 and saw this mockup engine:

So maybe if they were really serious about it, they could have a running 6-rotor engine by now, seven years later. Squadalah, we are off!

Found this thread on anothr forum: http://www.cannonballforums.se/viewt...3622a585d17951
you don't hear about it because it probably sheared E-shafts in half every time they fired it up. Way too much twisting force from end to end... better off going with larger rotors instead of more. IE the 16x
