Cool Use for Rotaries
I found this patent today and though it was pretty interesting.

Using an explosive charge to drive a rotary engine to tighten a seat belt before a crash


http://www.google.com/patents?id=N6Q...age&q=&f=false

Its used in some Mercedes and VW cars

Enjoy your labor day weekend!
