The piston in a Wankel mill does..Originally Posted by TheDemonLord
I'm going to put on my Pedant hat and say that the piston doesn't revolve (its a reciprocating motion) yet has power
& the recip' piston is being forced by the combustion pressure - via its conrod to the crankpin - in a timed dynamic flow.

I dunno. My old ZX10R was good to the imperial ton in 1st gear. Didn't really need 6th. None of my Ducs were good for that

I've played with my 1972 BMW racer over the last few years and currently its running a stock cam with the squish machined down to 1.5mm with a set of 36mm Dells.
As an experiment at Puke on a cool down lap did the circuit in 5th, bit of clutch slip on Castrol but interesting.
Earlier in year at Taupo other than starting off did a whole race in 3rd, and had a battle with a Rob North Trident at the same time, pulls cleanly from just under 2000 RPM to rev limiter of 7500.
Fitting a proven asymmetrical cam for next year so that will be interesting. Still only have about 60-65 BHP but over that the cost/return ratio gets away on you.

1.5mm squish? So still not working?
Might find 70bhp if you fix the clutch slip. Either the grip and suddenly let go, or as I've been finding more lately they can limit the HP to the rear wheel.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

These Bimmer guys seem to have a bit of a clue about it.. http://vintagebmw.org/v7/node/8205

I meant slipping the clutch as part of the 5th gear experiment. My mates BMW has been dyno'd at mid to high 70's and that's with no work done to the heads.
Work in progress.
