That rotor sounds promising. Kudos to you CF for pushing stuff like this forward & possibly helping out the rest of this group in their search.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
