There’s a new spin on the rotary engine.
Liquid Piston, a Connecticut-based engineering firm, has turned the classic Wankel engine design inside out to create a more efficient, and cleaner-burning motor.
The X Mini is a little powerhouse with a core that weighs just four pounds, is compact enough to fit inside a large cantaloupe, and pumps out 3.5 horsepower at 10,000 rpm. It’s envisioned as an alternative to a 50cc piston engines, but in a smaller, lighter package.
