Doesn't the 'mazda' rotary mnimize this pulsation?


It may if the combustion event is more spread out than in a conventional
piston engine, but I haven't seen any power curves for a rotary. It
still has discrete combustion events that are converted to rotation, so
it will still have power pulses of some form. The only way to get away
from that is to have something with continuous combustion as in a turbine.
