In theory, Wankel-style rotary internal combustion engines have many advantages: they ditch the cumbersome crankcase and piston design, replacing it with a simple, single-chamber design and a thick, ...

It is quite ironic that internal combustion engines (ICEs) have remained basically the same for more than one hundred years. It is only now – when they are allegedly on the verge of disappearing – ...

It’s common in this line of work to stumble upon a story while researching for another story. Digging through archives and old spec sheets usually uncovers other weird, forgotten facts, some of which ...

Rotary engines are a beautiful feat of engineering innovation in the world of internal combustion engines. They're compact, powerful, smooth, and high revving. The king of rotaries must then be the ...

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 ...

Almost every internal combustion vehicle on the planet today uses the classic piston engine. These run by converting heat energy into reciprocating motion, and then rotary motion that ultimately ...
