We have received two advertisements of a 70 HP rotary engine built in the UK.
“Two Paradox ads”
-As we can read they gave 70 HP and had rotating cylinders inside a frame.
-All valves were controlled mechanically.
From Appendix 12: Charles Deissner made an air-cooled, 4-cylinder, 4-stroke 30 HP rotary that he put into a chassis.
“Schematic drawing of Charles Deissner's 30 hp engine”
-For each engine rotation the propeller rotated twice in the same direction.
“Photo of the 30 HP on chassis"
“Charles Deissner with a running 30 hp rotary engine”
-This engine has the output shafts on both sides with one of them off-center.
-The ongoing test is to demonstrate stability.
-The larger 70 hp model has already been marketed, as we see in the ad below.
“Paradox ad in a magazine”
"Attempt to clarify the design"
-There is information that Paradox also offered another 100 HP motor. Although we only have obvious photographs of the construction of the 30 HP engine.
