great torque, bet itd be awesome for industrial use, not so sure about how good it'd do in a car though.

If they have a completed engine that they've put in a car, why are they relying on CAD computations for their torque numbers?

The pistons in the 2 cylinders appear to be 180 out of phase with each other. Is the thing going to vibrate like a paint shaker?

I think that is more for theory explanation.

The engine firing order would be similar to that of a Subaru flat four. Less vibration though due to the tri-lobes and small stroke.

Interesting idea. I wonder about the longevity of the edges of the trirotors and the bearings (roller?). Lots of force at that contact point.

My best SteveC impression:

That's such a worthless thing. It's an answer to question that's never been asked. It's like "Look mama I took all the gears out of your watch and replaced them with pullies!!!!!" Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

End of SteveC impression,

Thank you for reading,

This is perhaps the MOST MASSIVE REPOST EVAR.
