I wonder why this engine wouldn't have similar combustion
sealing problems as the Wankel?
A wankel's sealing issues have been, for the most part, taken care of with
advances in apex seal materials and housing coatings in the latest engine
design.
I think if more automakers than Mazda offered them they'd have more
refinement in the design, but I digress.

Mazda
Lots of problems in that design, mostly related to limitations on
compression ratio. The other issue, according to my friend Hans, is
that they really are only efficient at about 10,000 rpm, and Mazda
wasn't interested in the work required to balance them for that speed
and chose to run
The engine in the MSN story was intended to be used in a series hybrid
setup, so in theory it would be running at optimaly efficient RPM.
Of course it's not exactly unheard of for academics to be excited about
something that never seems to work out in the real world. And then
people will blame

$7700.00 seems about right for a 77 450SEL in great shape - a Kaleb special
is a whole different story.
Thanks,

We call them hit and miss engines, because the governor usually
holds the exhaust valve open on the intake stroke to prevent it from
generating an un-needed power stroke. At no load with the governor
set low, it may only fire every four or five power strokes unless set
VERY rich to make
If you want to see hundreds of them in operation, along with hundreds
of antique tractors, and dozens of steam traction engines (probably
around 100) , Steam locomotives and electric trolleys in operation go

had mechanical strikers in the top of the cylinder that made contact and
ignited the gas vapour. (Later models had spark plugs.)
