The fact that the original designer and builder of this one of a kind engine specifically reached out to Rob for this speaks volumes about how far he has come. There are so many rotary shops around the world who would kill to get their hands on this thing yet he chose the one and only Dahm. Tyson is one those guys who does not ask ''why?'', but instead asks ''why not?, when prompted with a challenge. There are so many unique one-off solutions in this engine that may seem obvious when looking at it here, yet no one else have done it. And the fact that he proudly shows off all his work instead of keeping it a secret to himself, like a lot of rotary shops like to do, is so incredibly cool. I can't wait to see what it is capable with all the modern tech hooked up to it.
@JurisTruedge Рік тому
Im sure thats why he went to Rob. He has totally designed his own modern injection and timing map for a 4 rotor turbocharged engine. To get the ignition timing and fuel injection to work together is something Rob has learned to do from the ground up.

@Ikaros--- Рік тому
I'm still confused about the balance... the left and right 4 rotor banks are counter-rotating, but the bottom bank doesnt? I guess it will still torque somewhat, but no more than a regular 4 rotor. At first I thought the layout was going to be like 2x 6 rotors arranged in a V configuration, but it's more like 3x 4 rotors in a W configuration.

Right down to the balance cancellations through counter-rotating the assembly, the increased torque via dual lobe firing is like an epic level of engineering 👌 Lastly I'm going to state that I saw the video clip of this engine running with a glass of water sitting on the intake......in the video he revs the engine and it doesn't even make a ripple in the water in the glass! The balance is by far the best I've seen of any combustion engine yet?

Gasoline engines alone have many orders of magnitude left in their potential. It's critical to know, what the public has been using, is only a fraction of what is possible.

Man this is insane, this sounds like an easy 3000hp, also can't wait what this could mean for future cnc projects, dual 4 rotor with 2 massive turbos for maybe a, i dunno, diablo or something anyone?

5000hp with twin 106mm turbos @ 50psi... according to an article i read

This is absolutely insane to see! The simplicity of a rotary engine allows for the world to do these things, this is nuts!

This is Glorious! Respect to the Big block configuration on a Rotary! Insane!

I remember many years ago seeing the potato quality video of this beast... and im still in awe to this day on the level of engineering this man put into this. Seriously beautiful piece of craftsmanship.

Rob going full kid in a candy store this entire vid, lol. Don't blame him, that engine is legit one of the most beautiful pieces of CNC engineering I've ever seen.

OMG this is just amazingly mind blowing. I want see it being all put back together so I can hear it running, thank you for sharing this amazing rotary engine with us rotary engine fans and fans of yours.

There are several videos of the engine running, even though they are 9 years old.

A great example of what happens when someone who has tons of experience pushing limits outside of the rotary world comes into the rotary world. Crazy how simple he made the complexity. Awesome opportunity and video.

I'm not even a car guy but as a novice engineer who loves seeing how things work this video was really cool. What a cool engine and what a cool guy who built it. Very impressed. The engineering on this is very inspiring.

This just broke my brain in half. I'm honestly speechless. Just when you think you've seen everything the internet has to offer this comes along. I'm so f**king stoked to see what Rob does with this monstrosity.

7:03 This engine needs a reverse rotation turbo to keep its symmetry if it ever gets boost.

It was built 15 years ago, Whoa!! Counter rotation 😮 it’s incredible how big a Big block is, this engine is far above my level of understanding, but I can appreciate the sheer genius of even thinking of let alone making such a engine 😃

i remember the video of this from 9 years ago with the 2 glasses of water and all ❤ we NEED a CAD model of this, this is a work of art and a once in a lifetime engine ❤ im a ongoing engineer (fascinated by machining , motors, cars, cnc machines and all that) and the work that went into this is enourmus, the thoughtprocess to the machining, 📈im inpressed to the moon

the cad file for ahura is ridiculous already, 14gbs 😭😂 but I agree a cad model of this engine would be epic.
