The chapters subsequent to the design discussion describe the evolution of the project. During the progression of the project, four case studies were undertaken. Each of these case studies involved the design of an engine, using the principles expounded in the early chapters. The parts of three of these were manufactured. The project has culminated in case study four which consisted of the conception, design and component manufacture of a new type of engine: the Hudson 5 Cycle Rotary Engine. It does not reciprocate, nor is it orbital (Sarich) and is not peritrocoidal (Mazda). It operates with pure rotary motion. It also promises to have a favourable environmental aspect due to its excellent fuel efficiency and because of its exceptional power to weight and power to size ratios plus a low component count. The small size and low number of parts make it very economical to produce, both in materials and energy.
