What are the disadvantages? (none are listed on that page)
- maeon3 15y agoI would imagine you couldn't use one of these engines in Maine in the winter when you wake up and it is 30 below zero.
- andrewcooke 15y agoi would guess that it's hard to get a good (reliable, long-life) seal between the rotating part and the upper surface (i don't think this is much like a wankel engine, but it probably does share that problem). also, it looks like it's supposed to spin at a constant, high speed - that might imply high pitched whine (see someone else's comparison with a gas turbine).
- Zak 15y agoIt has a narrow powerband so it can't be used to propel a car directly; only to generate electricity for a hybrid car.
