@xschop would love the machining that goes into this re-envisioned lightweight high efficiency rotary engine if he were still with the forum. This is pretty incredible. https://www.liquidpiston.com/how-its-made

    I wish I still had my Mazda RX7, the motor on that car is probably still going.
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Yes. There was a show I used to love called "The Secret Life of Machines" where they picked a different invention each episode and gave the lowdown on it's development and history. Lots of entertaining caricatures and cartoon(age?). Had Take Five by Dave Brubeck Quartet as the theme song. Got cancelled way too soon.

    A friend of mine who traveled a lot in his outside sales job used to put 180,000 miles on his RX7’s before he got rid of them way back in the 70’s.
