Seems like half of the air museums I go to have a model showing how a Radial engine works, but never a Rotary.. Last year I was able to go to Europe (plane ticket and hotel accommodations was a gift from my mom and my aunt). The air and Space Museum, which has a fabulous WWI section (admission is free) has a model of not just a Radial Engine, but also of a Rotary engine. I took a video of the model working and just recently posted online.

Enjoy!

Maybe they couldn't find enough castor seed oil :) (OK, I know I'm being silly); thanks.
