Q1_Aircraft: Re: [Q1_Aircraft] Digest Number 94

Interesting that you should ask about this now. I too have been looking
into this. I found one that jlooks almost ideal - but the price of the Euro
has risen so much in relation to the dollar that they have gotten kind of
expensive. Check out:

If the link doesn't work do a Google using XR-8 wankle and Kart. You'll
have to run it through a translation site, and getting them in the US is
kind of a problem. For 40 Hp and only 38 lbs it might be worth the trouble.
Of course you will also have to build a PSRU to go with it................

'The Wankel XR-8 was conceived a new development for the Kartsport is
special. These 4 clock suction engine works over a circle piston
around an eccentric cam turns.'

I read 'clock suction engine' as something entirely different.

These suckers use wa-a-ay too much gas, forget it.

Single-rotor wankels have been used on snowmobiles and several
motorcycles (British and German). Theres a large, coffee-table book
Motorcycle Encyclopedia I found at a Borders bookstore with much
useful info. The Hercules motorcycle used an air-cooled rotary, had
38 hp if I recall correctly. Looked like a coffee-can with cooling
fins. Of course RX-7 engines are easy to get, and cheap, but I don't
know if your idea of cutting one down to 1 rotor is feasible - you
would have to add a counterweight to compensate, and of course it
still needs a radiator.
Moller made several high-power, air-cooled rotary engines for their
skycar project, but that's never really gone anywhere past a
prototype, and I don't think the engines are on the market. Good luck
with your project! I do love rotary engines, the concept deserves
more support than its ever recieved...
