Talk:Nikasil

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The section of the article talking about development for rotary engines makes no sense. Rotary engines have an impeller or rotor, not pistons. So the comment about pistons in a rotary engine is nonsensical, unless talking about a circumferential piston engine (which is not what the author appears to be referring to).

The page could do with a more approachable opening sentence. I think even rocket scientists might be baffled at the current opener: "Nikasil is a trademarked electrodeposited oleophilic nickel matrix silicium carbide coating..." Call me uninformed, but the only words I understood from that description were "trademarked and coating." I'll have to look up "nickel matrix." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Broncostar (talk • contribs) 04:05, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
