    Scary amazing!

    Notice how fast that exhaust valve closes each time? So fast the time-lapse camera doesn't even pick up the movement.

    I wonder what cam that thing is using.

    Also, I noticed the degrees of rotation are running at the bottom. Beats the hell out of a degreeing wheel!!!!

    Awesome videos!

    The rotory engine looks like the pieces from the "Spirograph" toy I had in the '70's!

    In VoTech my teacher had a single glass cylinder 4-stroke. It was neat to watch run. Thanks for the vids!

    The video clip stops partway through the exhaust stroke and re-starts at the beginning. That's why you don't see it close.
