Well done, Troy :-) It sure sounded like a vacuum cleaner.. Cheers, Ron >> Do rotaries have valves? > > No, but it didn't look like a rotary to me. Sounded like it. I had to listen to confirm it as rootes blowers aren't ideal for rotaries and generally aren't used. > Maybe I was watching a different clip than you :) > > -- > Regards, > Noddy. > Sounded like it. I had to listen to confirm it as rootes blowers aren't > ideal for rotaries and generally aren't used. Yeah, it sounded like one. I just watched it again, but with sound this time. The first time I looked at it I didn't have the sound turned on, and the blower mounting just looked like any other V8. -- Regards, Noddy. >> Sounded like it.

SignatureThe Raven http://www.80snostalgia.com/downloads/batfink/sounds/wings.mp3 >> Do rotaries have valves? > > No, but it didn't look like a rotary to me. > > Maybe I was watching a different clip than you :) Yeah a blower on a rotary would more likely be offset to the side. V8 conversions are pretty common. But it did sounds like a rotary. Fraser > Yeah a blower on a rotary would more likely be offset to the side. V8 > conversions are pretty common. But it did sounds like a rotary. Yeah, it certainly did when I watched it the second time with the sound turned on :) Unusual blower mount for a washing machine engine. -- Regards, Noddy. > "Noddy" <dg4163@(nospam)dodo.com.au> wrote in news:46d4ffe1$0$90164 > $c30e37c6@lon-reader.news.telstra.net: [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Do rotaries have valves? Poppet valves no, however; some have other types of valves that don't specifically relate to the basic engine operation.

I'd love to see how they'd mount that blower off a Rhone Gnome, let alone mount it in the engine bay. ;) >> Wonder what killed it,..cough back and kaboom? > > Probably floated a valve and backfired up into the blower. A valve?????

Blower backfire just like a regular piston engine. You can hear the engine still spinning after the explosion so, it wasn't anything letting go in the engine. Rotaries stop very fast when something lets go internally (which is very rare). SignatureThe Raven http://www.80snostalgia.com/downloads/batfink/sounds/wings.mp3 > http://youtube.com/watch?v=8sYApXA1wd4 > > Ouch... Deserves him right for putting such a ridiculously oversized (and horsepower sapping) blower on a rotary. He could have saved the price of the blower and invested it where it would have made the car faster than it supposedly was (prior to the blow up).

Id say that maybe the flywheel has let go severing several componants on its way by the looks of the rear of the bonnet. > http://youtube.com/watch?v=8sYApXA1wd4 > Ouch... LOL! I like the way the bonnet flipped up. I don't think it broke though, still a driveable at the end.... "Yeah, go forward".
