Auric: Interesting post. Please copy the contents of the 504 with a text editor and paste it into a posting if you can. I would like to see it. Thanks. Shash: Wonderful analysis! This is precisely the way that the engine should be compared with conventional ICE's: namely via volumetric flow rates. You have hit the nail on the head. I think that it is quite likely that Mr. Shelby did not do this analysis. In addition to your comments, I would add that the sealing technology for sliding planar surfaces at the front of the engine as the cylinders sweep past the exhaust and intake ports is likely to be quite problematic because of the large area exposed intermittently. The seal would be alternately sliding against a suface and then exposed as it sees the opening. This is much harder to handle than the environment for valve seats or piston rings. I'll bet that the engineering to develop a long life seal will be as difficult as it was for the wankle rotary now used in the Mazda. -Sword
