i think mr wankle was onto something there a while ago
if only for those damn apex seals, rotaries would be ok
imho - the key likes in rotating weight in the axis of (evil) output, rather than reciprocating weight 90deg to output.
gas turbine is definitely one idea. i had a rather nutty idea once, a bit too complicated to explain here, but imagine two corkscrews side by side with their vanes overlapping. the pitch of the vanes decreases along its length, then increases again. these two screws spin together, draw air in at the front, and push it out the back (can anyone say archimedes) however, with the varying pitch, the air gets compressed somewhere in the midle. inject fuel in this area, ignite, and let the expanding gases exit to the rear o the corksrews - the exhaust accelerates, travelling down the slacker reward vane pitch, thus spinning the vanes faster, thus sucking in more air at the front, thus causing more fuel to be cobusted, thus making the whiole assembly spin faster.
hope that makes sense
no idea if'd work, but if i had $1,000,000 id lke to give it a try
cheers
