Thanks for that Ax. My husband had an RX7 and he really enjoyed watching the video.

Reading about the Wankel, it seems like it was plagued with all kinds of problems (seals, pollution, inefficient fuel use, etc) which, ultimately, made it non-sustainable despite the clever engineering. Wikipedia talks about using hydrogen (!) as a fuel which is faster burning than gasoline and producing no emissions.

I felt pure hatred only. I'd have loved to take her Louboutin stilettos and ramm them into her head.

The Schumann/Tausig reminds me of this gem of a transcription by Rachmaninoff:

@Axtremus That was interesting.

I can see you or Klaus or Jon building one of those mechanisms like seen at the end. LOL
