Re: [DML] Re: Rotary Engines

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The rotary engined Mazda RX8 is still on sale in Europe/Japan and 
elsewhere. The engine was a multiple award winner when the car was released

As for 1.5v -cells- go do some reading on batteries, and if you want 
voltage you rack up may CELLS to create a BATTERY. I've personally USED 
high energy NiMH cells made by Saft. 1.2v cells capable of 600A 
discharge, doubling the efficiency and capacity of lead acid cells of a 
similar weight. Hydrogen fuel cells are already a viable power source 
for electric vehcles, unfortunately the supply of hydrogen is the problem
