It's a Deltic diesel train engine Monster, and is pretty much the same size as, or bigger than a Corsa.

The Deltic loco that uses it uses a pair back to back. They sound like the end of the world when running at full tilt.

Wanted to get a model one of these and build a Bi-Plane a few years ago, then I found out how much it was.

Now i've got my heart set on a miniature jet engine.

In the Quasiturbine engine, the four strokes of a typical cycle de Beau de Rochas (Otto) cycle are arranged sequentially around a near oval, unlike the reciprocating motion of a piston engine. In the basic single rotor Quasiturbine engine, an oval housing surrounds a four-sided articulated rotor which turns and moves within the housing. The sides of the rotor seal against the sides of the housing, and the corners of the rotor seal against the inner periphery, dividing it into four chambers.

As the rotor turns, its motion and the shape of the housing cause each side of the housing to get closer and farther from the rotor, compressing and expanding the chambers similarly to the "strokes" in a reciprocating engine. However, whereas a four stroke piston engine produces one combustion stroke per cylinder for every two revolutions, the chambers of the Quasiturbine rotor generate height combustion "strokes" per two rotor revolutions; this is eight times more than a four-strokes piston engine.

Variations on the Wankel to be fair.

Just someone trying to reinvent the wheel.

Fascinating stuff though, and the engineering that must go into them beggars belief.
