I'm a subscriber of Model Engine Builder magazine. The recent issue has a very interesting engine that Jerry Hale designed. It is based on a Wankel engine but has what looks like 4 cylinders inside a ring and one spark plug. Bascially all four cylinders revolve inside the ring. They have a video of the engine running. A very sweet sounding engine. Here is the link The Hale Rotary. A must see video.

Regards,

Wow, it really does run well. It's quite an intriguing design. Hale apparently was an engine designer professionally and this was a retirement project.

I'd hate to try to build it without CNC, but he did it all on manual machines.

Best,

BW
