I'd like to share a very cool site that has animations of many kinds of engines. http://www.animatedengines.com/ |

For those who can relate to crankcase induction (like 2-stroke rotary valve motors) - the Gnome rotary kinda makes sense. Very cool link... already forwarding it here at work. Fun stuff!! (Message edited by slaughter on February 26, 2010) |

I'd love to see the details of the Gnome Rotary valve train! |

Want to see a gnome rotary motorcycle? Take a look at the Killinger & Freund. At least I think it's a gnome rotary...

Wow! The engine is part of the front wheel! I didn't catch that on the first one. That's got to make for some interesting handling with the gyroscopic forces when it gets going! |
