Trivoli, IL | have been sending emails back and forth with www.rotaryengine.com for last 3 to 4 days now. (most likely a nightmare customer for them, due to my own lack of knowledge, of what is needed/wanted). there website, gives impression of customized mazda engine builds. and website notation of experience of running generator setup with various engines, emails have been being returned in a timely manner. at my view, company has qualities of what I am looking for.

another website / video on "duke engines"

i keep looking at it, and wanting the engine. vs barrel engines (seen in previous post). it is more about the "swash plate" or "wobble plate" how ever you want to define it. and staying with more of a "linkage arms" between piston, and connection point to the "swash plate" and being able to work out the load forces so more force is placed in actually turning the shaft. vs friction and rollers trying to turn a swash plate. not to sure about gas (showing spark plug) in all the videos that i remember seeing, and assuming gas vs diesel. but....i did email company a while back, and did get a quick response, noting there trying to get production stuff figured out for mass production. ((been to long to remember the email))
===========
i am still interested in the (to many terms, do not remember them all), opposed cylinder opposed piston engine setups. and for what i am looking at as far as space 20" width x 20" height. and if possible smaller measurements.... i am tempted to see what it would take to run a few barrel engines back to back. and put into the same engine block per say. to get opposed cylinder and opposed piston combo going, so i can get the "drive shaft" going in correct direction.

on other hand....

both of above threads. with mention of more of a common V shape piston/cylinder chevy small block engine... and more likely use of off the shelf parts. and redo connection points for air filter, exhaust, etc...

then the wankle engine, from mazda.

speeder reducer (grear ratio thing), and hydraulic motor. maybe even a wheel hub motor possibly.
there was a better video for gear ratio. for much higher ratio that normally achieved by planetary gear setups in same amount of space.
the hydraulic motor, type thing more of a note: for myself, when i go back to detailing out wheel motors.

needing to take a brake from engines...
the more i search through engine types, the more i am wanting to apply for a patent for the SSTT tractor. beyond relying on the statement of requiring free to use for yourself, but not make money from the idea, without written permission by me. ((see previous post some place in this thread for better notation)). basic idea towards farming would be, is just a simple "tool bar" with an engine, fuel tank, and wires and hydraulic lines, coolant lines, etc... that someone could then build off of errr i should say attach to. to do what ever. if it was marketed towards transportation, it would be a self propelled trailer in idea. or rather toolbar/frame work to attach wheels and flat bed or box like frame on it. its not really a vehicle were someone actually rides in it or on it. i suppose someone could, by attaching a cab to it some place. were said cab, was bolted/pin down. to a point were it would take considerable amount of time to remove cab. it is really not setup to be a single function unit, like a self propelled (enter something), that only does one special thing.

SSTT (sideways snake train tractor) new idea possibly?
