rotaryengine
A rotary engine, also known as a Wankel engine, is a type of internal combustion engine that uses a rotor instead of pistons to convert pressure into rotational motion. Unlike conventional piston engines that have reciprocating parts, the Wankel engine has a triangular rotor that spins eccentrically within an epitrochoid-shaped housing. This spinning motion creates chambers that expand and contract, performing the four-stroke cycle of intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust.
The primary advantage of the rotary engine is its simplicity and high power-to-weight ratio. It has fewer
The Wankel engine was invented by Felix Wankel in Germany in the 1950s. While it has seen
