Moller International, Inc. ... today announced it has found that ethanol fuel is an excellent fuel for most applications using its Rotapower(R) engines. ... Moller's engine is considered very powerful for its weight, and relatively low cost. It is nearly vibrationfree and generates very low levels of harmful emissions. Considerable interest has been shown in its potential application in motorscooters, recreational and utility vehicles as well as hybrid cars and portable power generators.

The Rotapower(R) engine is a multifuel compatible engine and in testing various fuels including gasoline, diesel, natural gas, and various types of alcohol, MI found that their engine ran coolest and cleanest on ethanol. In addition, the already outstanding emissions characteristics of the chargedcooled rotary engine designs were further enhanced with the use of ethanol.
Seems this thing could be run on beans after all
