The Renesis won International Engine of the Year and Best New Engine awards 2003 [26] and also holds the "2.5 to 3 liter" (note that the engine is designated as a 1.3–litre by Mazda) size award [27] for 2003 and 2004, where it is considered a 2.6 L engine, but only for the matter of giving awards.
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 ...
Wankel aircraft engine. The company's aircraft engine line consists of the single rotor Wankel AG LCR - 407 SGti four-stroke, 407 cc (24.8 cu in) displacement, liquid-cooled, fuel injected, petrol, Wankel engine that produces 37 hp (28 kW) at 6000 rpm and the dual rotor Wankel AG LCR - 814 TGti 814 cc (49.7 cu in) displacement, liquid-cooled, fuel injected, petrol, Wankel engine design, that ...
Wankel engines in auto racing are operated at speeds up to 10,000 rpm, but so are four-stroke reciprocating piston engines with relatively small displacement per cylinder. In aircraft, they are used conservatively, up to 6500 or 7500 rpm.
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 Wankel engine is a type of internal combustion engine using an eccentric rotary design to convert pressure into rotating motion. All parts rotate consistently in one direction, as opposed to the common reciprocating piston engine, which has pistons violently changing direction. It is also known as a rotary engine.
The Mercedes-Benz M 950 is a prototype Wankel rotary engine made by Daimler-Benz. It was first described in Wolf-Dieter Bensinger's 1969 essay Der heutige Entwicklungsstand des Wankelmotors, published in January of 1970. [1] The engine was developed by Daimler-Benz's Wankel engine department, headed by Bensinger.
Making a Wankel engine that can burn Diesel engine fuel, but which does not use the Diesel principle, can be useful if Diesel engine fuel is less expensive than petrol. [5] In a 1974 study conducted for the EPA, it was attempted to determine whether or not a Wankel Diesel engine has a better exhaust behaviour than a regular Otto cycle petrol ...
