I can draw "Pie-in-the-Sky" pictures too.  He forgot the location of the Flux Capacitor and the back-up Oscillation Overthruster, by the way.

Fixed it. The OO only needs to be attached at the swing arm since it requires a direct connection to the the tire for reverse functions only. The FC is integrated into the motor casing of course.



Furion, transparency is key and we all greatly appreciate anyone who is willing to directly address the community about their funding campaigns. We all joke around here because we have seen so many bogus projects we don't trust anything anymore less there is a prototype (unless you are Lit Motors ... we don't trust them anymore) . Secretly we all want alternative energy bikes to succeed.

If you get a prototype of this working it could change many things for the better so naturally we wish you luck.

I am also convinced of this, and I understand the mistrust of the community. The current version is summarized in a 70-page document. And the highly illustrated exhibition to the general public does not resist 15 sc to experienced people. Also, it is always interesting to interact on forums, even if it stings a little sometimes ;-).

The reason you don't see Wankel rotary engines in production, road-going vehicles is because they simply can't pass modern emissions standards.  For all intents and purposes, they are a "total-loss" lubrication system, only marginally better than a two-stroke piston engine in that regard.

Perhaps the designer is counting on the electric motor being the primary drive for the vehicle lowering the overall emissions-per-mile to an acceptable level??  I'm not even sure how either the EU or the US measures emissions for approvals.

This is absolutely true, but mazda has managed to adapt the rotating standards to the Euro 6 b standards on RX vision with the implementation of Skyactive R. However, it is a technology now locked and highly patented. Inaccessible for a small Startup.
This remains an interesting solution to be honest, only if this giant is interested in the concept, but before that we have to go through certain stages ;-).

To be transparent,
The project is capital-intensive and the purpose of the prototype is 480 K euros. The French and European financing levers are only available on a physical prototype.t Currently, 50K euros is the sum that is necessary to complete the demonstrator. We do not rely solely on this call to finance the project of course, but by transparency, we mention what is missing for the start-up. The image that you broadcast is an illustration (one of the first). The final (and EU-approved) prototypes will retain most of the lines, will differ on some aspects that are directly related to the solutions chosen.

Thank you all for these comments but I have to bring some more information here.
As many of you have seen wacky concepts appear with amazing numbers.
Furion is a team of 8 independent engineers, some of whom are internationally recognized for their work on hybridization, connectivity and electric power.
They are academic partners including 2 schools of engineers specializing in congestion, calculation of structures and embedded intelligent systems.
It is a group of professionals, more than a delusional idea of ​​a single person ;-).
For information also, the rotary motor is no longer current for several months (the deployment despite the evolutions remains delicate and its price is dissuasive). Currently the demonstrator is realized around a motor of Yamaha R6 and has a motor of 15 KW. And the weight of the machine is closer to 240 Kg than to 200 Kg.

The site of Furion will soon be recast (it dates from a year ago, the French publications in the press are more recent) and the translation will also come and it will shed light on this adventure.

Thank you for taking this message, sorry for my rusty English.  :-\

Sportively
Marc
