NSU-Wankel Mazda engines are powerful but not fuel efficient and the
seals (the equivalent of piston rings in a rotary engine ) Wear out
quickly under hard use and are difficult to replace due to the engines
design.

I've been interested in hydrogen fueled vehicles for a few years now, and
one thing that caught my attention was the wankel rotary engine, as used in
Mazda RX-7s. Last year while I was searching for some info for my sister's
science fair project, I found a web page about running rotary engines on
hydrogen, and how they're far better suited to hydrogen conversions that
normal piston engines. At the bottom of this page is a mention of using
water injection with hydrogen, for exactly the reasons discussed in this
email thread.
