Where is the limit to the number of rotors in your engine? With 4 pieces? Or 6, maybe? This dude doesn’t think, he knew there was 12 in his block to stuff.

The result is that the block is a content of 15.7 litres, and a small 400 kg, approximately the triple of a modern four cylinder engine (a 1.8 TFSI of Audi weighs 131,5 kg, for comparison). So, if you are looking for a lot of downforce on your shaft, then this is the bike you should have.

The man who monstrositeit in each other stepped is Tyson Garvin, a speedfreak which are stripes earned in the powerboat-racing world. Just like VW’s W12 engines, the block 3 cilinderrijen, what the overall records, especially for a block that is almost 2 times more displacement than a Bugatti Veyron.

5.000 hp

In its current state provides the uberwankel – which has only 19 moving parts – such a 1.400 hp and 1,100 Nm, but as soon as the turbo’s and racebrandstof added going to be that, as in the direction of the 5,000-hp @ 14,000 rpm climb, according to Garvin compared to Road & Track. Hang it behind your boat, you can laugh.

In the video below (1, 2)- which includes a glass gemeentepils on the block is taken as proof of the smooth loopkarakter – you can see how the block tested, and ge-rollenbankt. You must not without hearing protection in addition to go hang…

Thanks to Linky for the tip!
