I have to say though, the weirder and stranger looking some of those experimental engines are, the better I like them.

If you guys have some real interest in the rotary, you may be able to google up the original Wankel engine. Much like the old radial engine, the crank/eccentric shaft was stationary and the engine turned. The name for the first engine in German is drehkolbenmaschin (DKM) or single rotation machine. The second design is the kreiskolbenmaschin (KKM) or planetary rotation machine.

Rudolph Diesel intended or his first engine to run on Coal.(or so I once read about, I think) He disappeared off of a Ship from America to Europe. Not much more than a few years ago (1980s?) Cadillac was experimenting with an engine of theirs to run on powdered coal the consisentcy of baby powder. cuhulin
