  1. Put a propellor on it. The power to drive it will make bigger flames.

  2. The Wankel has many problems the worst being poor fuel consumption. The Liquid Piston (silly name) reverses the rotor and chamber shapes. It’s way more efficient and has no rotor tip problems.

  3. Neutron correct mixture had barely visible flame. Rich mixture let you see the flame. That’s it.

  4. Garyc Cotugno Supercharger is simply a blower. It would do the job fine. But Wankel throws so much heat down the exhaust, a turbo makes far more sense.

  5. Garyc Cotugno typical mix is 20% castor oil 70% methanol and 10% nitromethane.

  6. The purdy channel UK petrol (gasoline) is 5% ethanol. Our diesel is 5% biodiesel (methyl ester).

  7. doktorbimmer E85 is not a green fuel. The energy required to grow the corn and land that cannot be used for food more than negates any benefits. Biodiesel is a less energy intensive fuel but has the same land use problems.

  8. Travis Thacker Google Ilmor 5 stroke engine. Two four strokes feed exhaust gas into one larger cylinder. It’s about 15% more efficient. Benefits are not huge.

  9. Sakul you lot clearly failed to listen to what the narrator said. He put a rich acetylene mixture through the engine to create a yellow flame. All that did was demonstrate how it works. When it was running correctly you could not see the flame.
