The LCR - 814 TGti engine is a twin-rotor four-stroke, 814 cc (49.7 cu in) displacement, liquid-cooled, fuel injected, petrol, Wankel engine design, with a toothed poly V belt reduction drive with a reduction ratio of 3:1. It employs dual electronic ignition and produces 75 hp (56 kW) at 6000 rpm. [1]
ARV Super2 with AE110. Very closely based upon the Norton engine, the MidWest engine developed the design further. The lubrication system became a semi-total-loss system whereby Silkolene 2-stroke oil was directly injected into the inlet tracts and onto the main roller bearings, but the oil that fed the bearings became an oil-mist within the rotor-cooling air, with about 30% [4] of the oil ...
NSU invented the principle of the modern Wankel engine with an inner rotor. The NSU Ro 80 was the second mass-produced two-rotor Wankel-powered vehicle after the Mazda Cosmo. In 1967, NSU and Citroën set up a common company, Comotor, to build engines for Citroën and other car makers. Norton made motorcycles using Wankel engines. AvtoVaz (Lada ...
The Wankel engine is a type of rotary piston engine and exists in two primary forms, the Drehkolbenmotor (DKM, "rotary piston engine"), designed by Felix Wankel (see Figure 2.) and the Kreiskolbenmotor (KKM, "circuitous piston engine"), designed by Hanns-Dieter Paschke [2] (see Figure 3.), of which only the latter has left the prototype stage ...
1972 GM Rotary engine cutaway shows twin-rotors. Popular Science magazine in the May 1972 article "GM Rotary Engine for the 1974 Vega", an illustration of the Wankel installed in a 1974 Vega hatchback showed a different grille, a lower, more sloped hood line, and a "GM Rotary" badge and Wankel crest on the rear quarter panel.
The Hercules W-2000 is a motorcycle which was made by Hercules in Germany. It was the first production motorcycle with a Wankel engine. [3] [4] [1]: 83 [notes 1]It was designed in the late 1960s, [4] first shown at a German trade show (Internationale Fahrrad und Motorrad-Ausstellung IFMA - the International Bicycle and Motorcycle show [6]) in 1970; the prototype had a Sachs KM-914 engine and a ...
Diamond formed its subsidiary, Austro Engine, to produce the engine. [4] The engine is a single rotor four-stroke, air and liquid-cooled, 294 cc (17.9 cu in) gasoline Wankel engine design, with a mechanical gearbox reduction drive employing a helical gear set with a reduction ratio of 3.225:1. Cooling is predominantly liquid, with forced air ...
The company was founded in 2008 by Gilo Cardozo, who designed the company's first Wankel engine to power a paramotor flight over Mount Everest on 14 May 2007. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The company's RT300 is a Wankel single-rotor design that produces 31 to 50 hp (23 to 37 kW), while the twin-rotor RT600 produces 53 to 100 hp (40 to 75 kW).
