If you guys want to blow your minds with wierd engine concepts, check out these:
Rand cam engine

24 combustion events per cycle, 1hp/.75lb
prototype engine: 40lbs, 6" dia, 6" long, 42hp@7000rpm
Round engine

Those two make a rotary engine look simple.

There have been alot of concept engines over the years, and some of them have had much more potential than the piston engine, but Detroit tends to be very slow at adapting to new technolagy, prob because of how much effort they have put into perfecting the piston engine. Deos coats sell their retery cam yet or are they still just talking about it? Have they tried to actualy race it yet?
