Hi Perry et al,
 
Just to add my 2d, if the firing impulses  are halved by cutting down to one rotor, is not the torsional frequency also halved? Or am I missing something. If so, to what effect?
 
Tony.
 
If the two rotor is similar to a 4 cylinder 4 stroke piston engine, wouldn't a one rotor be similar to a 2 cylinder 4 stroke engine? Lamar has published the plots many times showing no torque reversals for a two rotor but very strong torque reversals for a one rotor.
