This was a really great concept that never made it because of big oil lobbying.

That Wasp engine was basically the last in the line of WWII-era piston aircraft engines produced by Pratt and Whitney. The jet engine essentially took over after it was produced. I suppose you could consider it to be the furthest evolution of the piston aircraft engine.

Ha, I was waiting for someone to post that huge ship motor.
Where's the pic of the motorcycle with the ridiculous amount of cylinders?

these things are very torquey, but also so complicated in order to service the engine you just simply get sent a new one!

Re: (Tetzuoe)
how did they consolidate the 3 crankshafts? you'd think they would have to all be rotating at the same speed...or would they rotate together naturally?
this thing is blowing my mind!!!1!ONE1!!

There is a huge gear set at the back that takes all 3 cranks into one.
I wonder how hard it is to time?

I don't know what the hell it was called. It was on Monster Garage last night. A bunch of grease monkey artists made a rocket bike. The rocket was simply a large 'trombone' shaped tube. It ran on propane & gasoline. Went slow as hell, but lit up red hot, and spewed 20ft flames out the back.
