3D Printed Rotary Engine

Post by StormyBlue »

Dear All,
Just uploaded to YouTube by 'Engineering Explained', a third scale 3D printed
rotary engine.
A very enthusiastic introduction and demonstration by the channel presenter
of the rotary engine cycle, and some fascinating technical insights.
Good to see a non-specialist be so enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
Well worth a look.

Looks he lost a side seal, judging by the damage to the centre plate.

I really like this channel, he has some great videos with his S2000. Did you design the model yourself?
