there are several sites about rotary engines try the forums at www.nopistons.com
www.rx7club.com
If you want rotary engines in automitive try http://www.monito.com/wankel/history.html
for overall rotary engine history (including rc and aviation) try http://www.rotaryaviation.com/rotaryhistory.htm
another few good sites are http://www.millville.org/Workshops_f...ls/wankel.html
http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/5903/QA.html (this one has 3 good pics of the results of a blown apex seal)
http://www.rx7uknet.dircon.co.uk/binhist/start2.html
as for exploded motors I don't know of that many pics of them. when people say they blew up the engine it usealy is just a blown apex seal. I've heard some stories of getting bolts/nuts falling into the engine and denting things to hell. rotary engines are proned to heavy carbon build up (I can get a few pics of this maybe if you want).there are alot of stories of engine fires in rx7s because they produce a extreme amount of heat compared to piston engines. you can try to get a few pics from http://www.atkinsrotary.com/index.php?pag=3 as soon as they complete thier new web page (I don't know when though). If you have any more questions about rotaries just pm me.

thanks. the presentation went well.
i tried the mintaro site, i also used the mazda site and 3rotor.com. and when i mean exploded, i mean a view of it as in a techincal drawing of the parts of the engine, not litteraly a blown motor.

I think this is pretty much exactly what you're looking for... if it's not to late.
