CanBus: now rotary bashing

[bill.shurvinton at nokia.com]

Hi Bruce,

Good ta see you're back on form.

It would be interesting as an excercise some time to actually list the
shortcomings of both approaches and see which, given the same amount of
development effort, should be superior.

You must admit that there are a huge number of problems with the
reciprocating engine that have been cured simply by thousands of man
years of research. 

I must re-read an article I have on some guy here who has built a new
sort of engine with multiple expansion chambers to try and cross the
best of a turbine with the best of a reciprocating engine.

Ya, but it has em, *low mass* rotors, and that really nifty way they pin
then to the center gear.   The weight of the ecentric shaft doesn't save
much.

How about cooling area for the chamber to transfer heat to the cooling
system?.   While its a disadvantage energy wise to make a 4 stroke, in
racing applications, the extra piston events, allow things to cool some
between heat cycles.
   No bashing anything, just mentioning some of the short comings.
Bruce
