For those of us interested in new motors, here is a nice film of the Wankel and the Quasiturbine. Nice animations.
It is interesting (and depressing) to see how long it takes to "displace" the piston engine.
Is it because these two contenders have unsurmountable flaws or it is only the inertia of the established industry? The inventor, Mr. St-Hilaire has been at it for more than ten years now but the product is not really commercialized yet. He is a brave man, I wish him all the success he deserves.
Are there other avenues and new applications where the Quasiturbine could be used?
What about drone airplanes? Light weight and low vibrations should be enough motivation to push a real R&D effort.
Enjoy!
