Sachs Dolmar KMS-4 wankel video

[McC]

A surprise visit at our chainsaw display in Baraboo WI 8-20-06. It has been a few years since this saw was at this show, so I captured it on digital. This saw really has a nice sound! video is almost 8mb, 1min

Very cool..Not a saw Id ever like to own..but certainly a very unique model.

I bet that bad boy can really turn out the revs...

That has to be one of the sweetest sounding small engines I've ever heard!

Just love it!

What was the durability like on that thing? Seals seem to be a Wankel's weak spot.

That and emissions.

Cool sounding saw!

What is a wankel?

how does a wankel engine work in a chainsaw? Could someone please shed some science on this neat subject? That unique sound of the dolmy...how does that come about? Neat...very neat!

just like in the Mazdas..The APEX seals wear out, it looses power, and its a boat anchor.

Fuel consumption is bad due to the fact that it has 3 intake cycles every time the rotor goes around.

Only good part is it is simple, good throttle response and it revs to no end.

Mine seems to have a limiter on it!

for more interesting graphics while at wiki, try searching radial engines, miller cycle engines, and two-strokes as well.

That would be nice to add to a collection but I would rather have a Solo Twin,
Its nice to dream..
