I'd like to share a very cool site that has animations of many kinds of engines.

Very cool! Check out the valve arrangement on the Gnome Rotary!

For those who can relate to crankcase induction (like 2-stroke rotary valve motors) - the Gnome rotary kinda makes sense.

Very cool link... already forwarding it here at work. Fun stuff!!

I'd love to see the details of the Gnome Rotary valve train!

Want to see a gnome rotary motorcycle? Take a look at the Killinger & Freund. At least I think it's a gnome rotary...

Wow! The engine is part of the front wheel! I didn't catch that on the first one. That's got to make for some interesting handling with the gyroscopic forces when it gets going!
