Yeah but theres no transmission that will hold it. Just like the 5k HP engine from the Devel Sixteen. Untill I see it in a vehicle and doing pulls I wont be impressed. For now its just a air compressor on a stand.

@@RobDahmCongrats again! A season's greetings present for all of us, ta. 👍 Going forward, YOU need to be safer running this monster. No YT sainthood, Rob! Bank 1 & 3 exhausts could follow bank 2's coillike exhaust-form, set it up sans turbos next (?), or plans to blow that inlet box with boost sooner than that? Ha. Wrapping coiled exhausts is easier; all turbos at 1 end. Cerakote's air-cured 1700F high-temp version coating first? Getting maximum exhaust energy into turbos does suggest some wrap or baffling with three 4-rotors running side-by-side. Any exhaust treatment/s add protection for inlet components against added radiated heat/inlet-temp problems, too. It was designed without turbos in mind, to replace a boat's BB-Chevy build; what other vehicle could use >4,000HP for more than some few seconds with 1x MET90MB or 3x turbos? A sudo boat build would be portable & have space for all auxiliaries to fit nearby & accessibly within the hull. Could remove it for a drag-car run. Too heavy for a Pikes Peak run?
I keep reading people crying about how these videos are put together. I get it, you wanna hear a piece of art run. What some don't understand is the whole picture. It's not just about hearing it run, its about the journey Rob has taken to get to this point. The guy is dedicating his whole life into these projects and deserves to show us his accomplishments and be proud of them.
@@AmericanLocomotive1honestly I wouldn’t even consider Robs titles clickbait, his are pretty typical for TH-cam. Scotty Kilmers titles however, are disgusting
Mad achievment! Awesome! But (08:50) a "baker's dozen" is 13, not 12. The extra one is so that the bakers in medieval times would not be beaten for baking loaves of bread that were underweight; rather than risk it, they baked an extra loaf whenever delivering a dozen
just for the record: the 787b is only 4 rotors. it looks like wizard rob just made the 787b look like a toy. youre my idol man!!! congratulations for this insane achievement!
@@jacob3279 He did not it was together an running when it was given to him he took it apart because it had been 10 years since its last ran on the dyno
I never lost hope in you guys, I’m not even into rotorys but I have been just admiring the passion, creativity, and drive just to prove a point and might I say…..DAAAAMMMNNN. Made my Christmas
Rob, you and your team are absolute legends! It's always inspiring to watch your videos - every time I see one, I can't help but click and get completely captivated like a kid seeing magic. You’ve come so far, and it’s incredible to see. Keep up the amazing work.
I too would love to see that. I was hoping for a full tube chassis FD skinned in carbon fiber as if it were an McLaren. Either way it will be epic. He also may want to consider about 1200 pounds of ballast in whatever it’s going in because the second that bad baby hits the power band it’s gonna break traction no matter what unless he retrofits some type of crazy ASM/TCM system and let’s be honest with each other, Where is the fun in that?
@@recordit9676It wasn’t commissioned. It was originally built by Tyson Garvin, originally to go in a boat. He is/was a high performance boater. When he couldn’t get it to run to his liking (it did run), he turned it over to Dahm to see if it could be made to run properly. It’s been with him for a number of years. It’s good to see the never gave up on it. I hope they get it running on those turbos. Should be good for north or 5K HP.
On Christmas Day a few years ago when I owned an rx8 it decided not to start and I dove into the rabbit hole of a rebuild. Years later even though I never got my car to start you got the 12 rotor rolling. So this was absolute not intentional on your part but have changed Rotory christmas for me from a time to work into a time to celebrate. Big congratulations to you and the whole team!

what's great about Rob is he doesn't need to throw a lamborghini off a cliff or whatever to make cool content. He just thinks of some wacky ideas and builds them! Inspiring!
The level of insane violence when it first lit shocked my entire perception of what this engine was even capable of!

I didn't care that it didn't run till now. I care about clickbait video titles. They suck.
