Basketball-sized, 25HP 210cc 2-stroke, supercharged diesel rotary to change the armed forces?

Man, I'd love to stick one of those on a yard buggy... also runs on nearly any hydrocarbon fuel!! 6 power strokes per revolution of the rotor.... crazy!

Very cool.

Interesting - like an inside-out Wankel engine with non-moving seals and combustion chambers.

I`d like to see a swap for the diesel KLR 650.

From what I have read real low on torque. Wonder about longevity myself
