Wankel Rotary
What about the WANKEL (rotary) Engine?
is a great engine, but why is it not used so much?? they say it pollutes a lot.. what else? and how can we solve this???
No torque, because of light weight. People don't understand them so they stay away. When you look at the power to weight ratio the emission are the best!
Also can be very loud when it's reeving at 9,000 rpm. We tried to use it as a boat motor with a supercharger but the whine from the pulleys will make you deaf.
I love the motor and it has fewer parts than a piston motor!
Wankel was a genius.
It is used today in the RX-8 and is the only piston-less motor in automotive use today.
