Beats me.

Even out in the field, we had something to the tune of 38°C. Doesn't bother me much, but three days of this in a row is quite taxing on the elderly. This ain't New Mexico, there is no a/c to crank up.

The problem with action movies today is consumers are willing to pay to see any turd they crank out and turds are quite easy to make. You keep paying for them and they will keep making them.

I can't recall the last action movie i enjoyed and/or was willing to pay to see.

...and it's not that they (studios) don't know. They just don't care. Making money trumps quality every time for most studios. Especially if they have shareholders.

of course i'm assuming all this based on what i see.

I too, had a similar experience with this song, except it was the end of a long term relationship. We both knew it was over but both of us wanted to do it for what turned out to be the last time. I cranked B.I.A. through the Cerwin Vegas and by the time we were getting hot and heavy, this song came on. The best memories of my youth.....here in Phoenix.

When I was a kid, I played on a baseball team with a kid that only had 1 hand. He would have to bat with 1 arm, and when catching the ball, he would have to quickly pull his glove off with his chin, grab the ball out of the glove, and throw.

He struggled with the game, but never gave up. Made it real easy for us to pull for him. Inspired the rest of the team, especially when he cranked a few hits into the outfield.

Three in a row, if I may.

No, not everyone builds a sturdy support ramp to lay over the stairs and an elaborate crank and pulley system. Everyone just has one or two other people help lift it.

A rotary (Wankel) engine has a triangular device that acts as the piston, which rotates in a chamber close to a figure 8 shape. Each side of the triangle acts as it's own piston as it rotates, first intake through a port (no valve) then compression, detonation, expansion, and finally exhaust through another port (still no valve).
Radial engines (what I think you meant) are relatively normal piston driven engines where the pistons are arranged in a circle around the crank at a 90 deg angle from the cranks rotation. These are usually used in prop driven airplanes.
This motor arranges the pistons in the same orientation as the cranks rotation...a 90 deg difference from radial engines. This makes it far more compact, but also puts the pistons in a single, rotating, revolver like arrangement of cylinders. It's a bit of a combination of rotary and radial engine features.

I'm not sure how much credence I can give the wiki page...I note it claims things that are obviously wrong, like "the design does not have a long lifespan when compared to other engine designs due to large numbers of moving parts" while in fact this motor has far fewer moving parts than normal motors. It did make some good points, like the first one that occurred to me about friction, but also made some bad points such as claiming 'mechanical complexity' as a drawback, while in fact it seems far more simple than normal motors.
"extra complicated machined parts" also exist in normal motors, and can be made fairly cheaply and easily in bulk.
Excess use of oil is an issue, but one they should be able to solve with proper machining and materials. Low RPM is fine for many applications, like a generator, so long as it's efficient it's fine and might even be better. Since you get high torque at low RPM with this design, low RPM seems to be ideal.
They claimed it had comparable horsepower to the same displacement normal motors in the prototype...if true, that point is moot.
Actually, there seems to be less moving mass in this motor, consider the mass of the crank shaft and counterbalances, connecting rods and pistons, the camshaft, rods, lifters, rockers, and valves. This motor only had a compact 'crank' and the connecting rods and pistons, and the output shaft. That's less actually moving to my eye.
The 'potential for explosion' was claimed on Wiki to be a design flaw of the case thickness around the 'crank', which could easily be thickened if it doesn't have to fit inside a torpedo....potential removed.
I'm not saying it's perfect, or necessarily even feasible, but it does seem to have more going for it than you give it credit for and is worth following it's progress to me.

Just another iteration of the weapons against all of humanity being cranked-out by cunts above all laws with a unilateral mandate to subdue, disrupt, and destroy lives in (insert country here).

Who pops the clutch like that on a bike unless you want to flip.

I think, he went to start, then when the flag went, he realized too late, he wasn't in gear, and cranked it to compensate, only thinking about how he was going to loose, when we all know a bike accelerates faster. So he punched it to over compensate, and in the process, lost his head and his bike.

Overworked, exhausted, and in 'fuck this fucking job' mode here seen on his last day before being blacklisted from the oilfield AND trucking industry, not to mention being barred form ever returning to the state of ND after serving time there.

A condition referred to as, 'full-tilt' and he'll be lucky if they give him the spoke key to a bicycle after this.

(bet he has some hardcore metal or most likely, some sheit ghetto-rap cranked-up to 11 on his stereo and couldn't even hear the thunks from the beams on his boom....at least you'd like think so.)

Haha, Me too..., Cranked on the car stereo.
They were awesome when I saw them in concert too.

Shit-If jack-ees had more sense combined with sane and adequate situational response, that jacked-up speed-freak wouldn't have been so ready to jump-out and pull that driver's door open and most likely, the cop cars and/or helicopter wouldn't have had to waste so much fuel. Way to get shot in the face there crank-blaster.

My first inclination? Hit the gas and roll this prick like dough all over his own car, but that's me....with way-better survival skills and an innate, leap-into-action attitude regarding such, todays'-a-good-day-to-die fuck-up types.

Shit, if this had been anywhere but guns-er-bad-m'kay California the speed-freak wouldn't have been so ready to jump-out and pull that driver's door open, and most likely, the cops and helicopter wouldn't have had to waste so much fuel. Way to get shot in the face there crank-blaster.

My first inclination would have been to hit the gas and roll his dough all over his car, but that's just me with way-better survival skills and my innate, leap-into-action attitude regaurding such, todays'-a-good-day-to-die, fuck-ups
