The one thing you need on generators is the ability to run long periods
without breaking. Wankel engines wore the seals out in a few hundred hours
if that.


Oh no! He thinks it is the 1960/70s again. Not that old one. The seal
problem was solved decades ago. The Russians have a design that has the
seal in the engine body, which can easily be replaced by removing a plate -
DIY job. This shows his age and state of mind.

You wont find them in aircraft either. Nor will you find an aircraft
engine revving much over 2500 rpm.


Pay attention at the back !!!! Wankles are good when running at their high
revving, constant speed, most efficient "sweet spot". Got it?

For planes. One constant speed high revving Wankle genny in the body, with
an eclectic motor on each wing turning the props. Maybe with a
supercapacitor thrown in. Simple and easy.

The US banned the electric plane. I wonder why?
