I'm 16 and have a prototype

Not sure if this is a piss take or not but... Your re-inventing the rotary with a round impeller and a tiny combustion chamber? How will you seal the gas in the pockets on the piston? You need to get the gas to push the piston, the only way to it is to contain its expansion and get it to push the "piston" around. You don't need a special throttle system, you need the right mixture of fuel and air which a carb or EFI will do.

I would dearly love to see his plans.....

I might start inventing stuff now.
I'm going to turbo the CB400 with the use of heat, with a jug element. The heat will push the air through my conical and truncated vortex generator at 700 CFM @ 200deg heat on the element.

You'll need all that extra power just to carry the portable 240v genny.

MMmmm. Micro explosions. They have been the death of many an engine. Controlled burning of the gasses is where it's at young man.

While I was away on holiday I got asked an interesting question by an older lady, she ask "why do men do such foolish things"? (Her question was in relation to the roads I take on my scooter.

)
I gave her my standard reply, because if we didn't nobody would have climbed Mt Everest yet.

I remember well how at 16 I knew everything until eventually it got bashed into me that I didn't, the result is a lot of lost dreams and maybe one good idea.
Did Burt Munroe study metallurgy?
Personally I don't think your idea will work, fortunately its not my dream so it don't matter what I think
Good luck

How did we ever learn before universities/polytechs and NZQA?

The Burt Munro approach works fine if you've an entire lifetime to dedicate to accomplishing fuck all (unless you rate world speed records as useful accomplishment, in which case he took an entire lifetime to accomplish plenty).

Burt Munroe's accomplishment will be remembered for lifetimes to come, to date I haven't achieved anything that people in future generations will speak of round the campfires, and you?
