that's some serious crazy
My brain hurts trying to understand how this functions. This is what I see.
Look up rotary and radial engine, will explain.
Thats pretty cool, but the crank makes my head hurt.
What a talented, smart fabricator! :clap:
I would think it would create a bit of a gyroscopic effect.
Mark, when do you and David start designing a response to this??
WOW!

I need to prod him to get the KZ running 1st. Like, cattle prod. :tough:
I believe the fourth photo shows the supercharger, which looks kind of similar to a rotary engine.
An apex seal nightmare.
Okay, there is some cool stuff going on here.
Looks like this guy made the engine in his garage. 2 row radial type cylinder arrangement with a open/common pressurized crankcase(kinda like a Detroit Diesel) and 5 little rather than 1 big roots style blowers to make the pressure. Obviously made for the enjoyment of the design rather than practicality but very impressive. I like how he used existing pistons, cylinders and rods to avoid having to do any casting, all done on a mill or lathe. I especially like how he adapted it to the existing bikes crankcase by replacing the original crankshaft with a straight shaft and a spriral bevel gear driven by the new crankshaft...genius!
