1928 Stinson Detroiter Packard Diesel
John Ousterhaut told me last week that my idea for a diesel rotary engine
needed more time back at the ol' drawing board. Translation: It won't work.
I didn't tell him I was planning on running discarded Chinese buffet
"grease" through it. <g>
Heat the grease with exhaust tubing - start and shut down with a small Jet-A
tank. See, I have thought this all through.
