Rotary Engine $30,000

That is a scarey small form factor for the hp it puts out, and only 4 pounds weight at more than 3 hp?!?

You can even hook them up together like multiple pistons and cylinders..an 8 pound engine with over 6hp, now that would a fun motorized bike.

I can't wait until the Chinese steal this, I mean clone this one...
 
You must be talking the liquid pistons rotary engine? Way cool, but still too pricey!
 
They probably need to make some money back after development and testing and patents and legal this that whatever... I would be trying to make a healthy profit off this too. And I know 30k is an easy price for any major engine manufacturer to shell out.

I really can't wait for the Chinese to copy this.
 
Oh for those who didn't know...

Darpa (US research facility for defense systems) awarded the company a 2 and a half million grant for this design.

On the left, a 35 hp diesel engine, on the right a 40hp design they have.
