Came across this on the net earlier, anyone hear about it?

looks like the rotary really has a clear advantage over the piston engine this time.

yep mazdas been developing their hydrogen rotaries for a while

has my vote :tup:

i've always thought rotaries were awesome... it might just be me but I kind of wonder how the hell anyone came up with the regular piston engine, when it just seems so much.. easier... to have something just spin circles instead of jumping up and down

hydrogen sounds neat.. anything cheaper than gas sounds great

ive always wondered the opposite thing. when youre using explosions the piston engine just seems like the idea i would come up if i was some smart enginieer. for some reason even tho the rotary is as simple or more simple in many ways, ive always thought of it as a more complex design.
