The above was originally designed to be tested as follows

• Track profile to be machined to the above
• An injector is used to inject water into the chamber
• The whole unit is placed on a gas ring
• An initial impulse is required to start the rotation
• The design may be used as an multi-fuel internal combustion engine
• The enclosed spreadsheet calculates output for a single track disk, however disks may be stacked and/or multiple tracks per disk can utilized.
• The above design is idealy suited to a sterling engine design. Where the upper and lower chambers can be hot and cold, or indeed one track hot, one cold and one to complete the Carnot cycle.

Below are shown graphs of theoretical outputs and characteristics
