craigbic 47 #2 Posted November 30, 2014 Thats totally awesome! It'd be really cool to repower an old push lawn mower with a X Mini burning diesel just for kicks but at 10,000 rpm, maybe not. I hope they push the envelope and develop a 5 hp fuel-injected supercharged diesel model for one hell of a go-kart or something! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fireman 1,021 #4 Posted November 30, 2014 When i was in school for Automotive back in the 80's my teacher couldn't stop talking about the Wankel Rotary Engine. He loved the shear simplicity of it. Only one major moving part. They did have their issues but overall was a very innovative design. We had one out of a crashed car that was donated to the program. Had it mounted on a test stand and used to run it once in a while. I wouldn't hesitate to have one in any of my vehicles! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
