[Gasification] Two piston ecomotor?

Wed Aug 10 12:06:07 CDT 2011

The Wankel is still being produced in small numbers.  It is good for  
being compact, but is still hard to keep sealed and less efficient  
than piston types.  You could run one from a gasifier, but I wouldn't  
bother if I had a piston engine available.  We've already lost the  
"compact" description.
