The thermodynamic and inertial analyses by Sword and shash are very impressive. In looking at the diagram from the Detroit Press it appears that there are many rotating parts including bearings and cam followers. This seems to contradict previous statements concerning the simplicity of the engine. Also, in attempting to make a free body diagram of the torque producing components, I am unable to determine where the reaction points are located. My intuition leads me to believe that there are dynamic tangential forces on the cam plate, piston plate rollers, cruciforms and pistons. Can someone help me understand the torque reaction forces and friction points? Thanking you in advance for your sincere effort in this regard. 246810
