On another note, does anyone think that I could build a Wankel engine? I am looking to get Korea in the automobile business, and a Wankel engine, being lighter and less complex than a normal piston engine, would make my cars cheaper, quieter, and generally more efficient (size/power ratio). So, what is the earliest that I could research and design a Wankel?

This from for the Alternate History Earth thread. I am Korea. The main point of this is to determine if it is technically and economically feasible to develop and produce a Wankel rotary engine in 1900 (or a few years later) for use in automobiles or other things. Also, to tie this in with the rest of NationStates, you can debate if it is useful for military applications.
