I think that the mini engine at roughly the size of a penny is still a little too large for the ZZs but this guy:

Which BTW I believe the rotor size is a typo at 500mm, that is like half a meter in my book right??? Anyways the correct number I'm guessing to be more like 5.00mm, heck we can even have a dual rotor setup like on the real car!!!



WEll even if one can overcome the remote possibilities of getting one of these tiny guys then theres the ignition system to setup and the fuel tank...what is it hydrogen? I don't know if we can squeese it all in a ZZ body...I'll Email those berkeley guys!
