Piston engines can have issues with backfiring when fueled on H2 but Mazda has been running a fleet of over 30 hydrogen-fueled rotary RX-8s for several years with some success. Last week at the ...

Because the rotors acted as counterweights, the engine vibrated less than traditional piston engines ... Unlike the non-GT model, the XP-987 GT was a two-rotor concept. You can probably guess ...
