Machines | How Rotary Engines Work - Mazda RX-7 Wankel - Detailed Explanation
videos | at work | information | view | construction
How do rotary engines work? How does a Wankel engine work? Rotary engines only have three moving parts, an eccentric shaft, and two rotors. The engine works very similarly in principle to a piston-cylinder engine, with intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust occurring within the combustion chamber which is somewhat oval shaped. As the rotor spins around, it rotates the eccentric shaft sending power to the transmission. There are many advantages to this design. First off, there are only three moving parts, making it a very simple design. There are no reciprocating parts, and this leads to an ability to rev high as the engine does not need to be concerned with valve float. Also as a result of only having rotational parts, the engine has very little vibration. Power delivery is also very smooth, and rotary engines pack a lot of power into a very compact design.

Wow! Very cool. Thank you for breaking it down for to now fully understand this engine's concept. Well done.
-
Thank you very much for this great video and explanation, very informative and gives me greater understanding of the basics I already knew. Might be worth adding in the purpose of the primary and secondary spark plugs for completeness ? In that one is trailing in most usage ?
-
Great video!
-
Great video. The rotary engine has such an interesting design
-
You explained it perfectly thanks
-
This is my favorite kind of engine. It's extremely fascinating and I definitely would love to see this kind of engine come back with all of its cons fixed!
-
this engine are powerful
-
Very insightful, thanks!
-
Outstanding video!
-
Another excellent tutorial.
-
Definitely this engine was designed by Aliens.
-
Nice video Jason !! Need more explanations like these !! Thanks
-
so basically if you floor it at low revs you are not gonna lug the engine.??

Not to be picky but a rotary engine is still a "4 stroke" engine - intake, compression, combustion, exhaust.
What it is not is a "piston-cylinder engine" -
Can a rotary engine be turbocharged?
-
Nice video, well explained . thanks!!
-
I thought the RX8 was the side port injection the RX7 had direct port injection.

Why not flip half of the motor in a 2 rotor to make even exhaust temps on both sides, it's less space efficient, but it could help make a better seal...
