Powering down the tarmac of the Salinas Airport, surrounded by the parked private jets that ferried some subset of the ultra-wealthy into the Monterey Peninsula for so-called Car Week, I get that ...
Through the history of internal combustion engines, there has been plenty of evolution, but few revolutions. Talk of radically different designs always leads to a single name – Wankel. The Wankel ...
The electric motor might carry the hype banner at the moment, but some minds remain convinced that there's plenty of innovation left to be extracted from internal combustion. AIE is one of the rotary ...
Transforming the up-and-down movement of a piston into a rotational one means losing some power due to friction, and that's why many engineers tried to create a rotary engine. But only one made it ...
When considering rotary engines, the Wankel engine often comes to mind due to its high power-to-weight ratio, though it ...
This video provides an in-depth analysis of the liquid piston engine and compares it to traditional piston engines and Wankel ...
LiquidPiston says its new XTS-210 solves the efficiency, lubrication and fuel type issues of Wankel rotary engines. This supercharged, liquid-cooled two-stroke claims 5X the power of an equivalent ...
We haven’t seen the last of the spinning triangles. Back in March, Martijn ten Brink, Mazda Motor Europe's vice president of sales and customer service, ignited gearheads everywhere when he told Dutch ...
Rotary engines such as the Wankel have strange shapes that can be difficult to machine (as evidenced by the specialized production machines and patents in the 70s), which means it lends itself well to ...
A Wankel engine is a type of rotary engine, but not all rotary engines are Wankel engines. Wrapping your mind around this idea will help you to better understand the similarities as well as the ...
Allied Market Research published a report, titled, "Wankel Engines Market by Type (Water Cooled and Air Cooled), and Application (Automotive and Aerospace): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry ...
For many years, the Mazda RX-8 has been the unloved member of the Mazda rotary family. At least compared to the RX-7, it ...
