wow! piece of rotary history there!

A hurley triple rotor using 12a housings

Wow, Hurley really did make all sorts of weird and wonderful (this being the latter).

That eshaft wouldn't have been cheap to get made.

he used a 3 piece E-shaft...

there's a big write up on this Hurley engine starting on page 119 of the E-book

the body should have a big black/red Rx-777 sticker on both sides.

I think he made more than one motor.

RX777 was his own car.

This may be an engine he built for a customer.

I've always been curious about these engines, never heard any reports about them or much on hurley.

I always wondered about these engines. Is it mainly an engineering exercise or does the expense to get one running get the extra power/reliability/fuel saving, that makes it worth while?
