[TheForge] New engine OT:

[Peter Fels & Phoebe Palmer]

Glancing at the site last nite..Looks like the complex joint between the 
links would be a real friction,wear/lube problem. It would also suffer 
the same seals problem that plagued the Wankel ( which was also pretty 
small).
Looking at where the force of the  explosion is exerted on the moving 
link...it intuitively seems indirect and inefficient. Why am i wrong here?
