The rx-7 has only 2 rotors(cylinders), well this motor has 4 of them. 4 rotors, 4 housings, 12 apex seals. You get the idea.

description = fail

 

think of rotors as modules, you have a rotor and a housing, and then the apex seals that are like a headgasket for a piston motor, they seal the outside rotor edges to the housing...

 

now picture four housings stacked one behind each other, 4 rotors interconnected via outputshaft...

No, it would be like 4 oranges compared to 12 apples. They're both fruit, and that's about it.

 

Give him more credit than that; the motor does fire 12 times per cycle. It's just missing some critical peices to be compared with a "normal" engine.

They both have 12 combustion chambers... but the whole geometry is completely different. You can't really compare the two.

 

Ex:

This engine would be a 7.8L 12 cylinder, with a 6.54" bore and a 1.18" stroke that made a complete cycle after 3 crankshaft revolutions.

The fire is an exhaust leak, from a poor mainfold manufacture or design. At temp the exhaust is either blowing by the gasket from pressure or the manifold is warping/lifting from pressure/heat.
