The Wankel engine (/ˈvaŋkəl̩/, VUN-kell) is a type of internal combustion engine using an eccentric rotary design to convert pressure into rotating motion. The concept was proven by German engineer Felix Wankel, followed by a commercially feasible engine designed by German engineer Hanns-Dieter Paschke. [1]
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.
The Mazda RX-8 utilizes a rotary Wankel engine, and the non-reciprocating piston engine uses a triangular rotor inside a near oval housing, producing from 141 kW (189 hp) and 164 lb⋅ft (222 N⋅m) of torque, to 177 kW (237 hp) and 159 lb⋅ft (216 N⋅m) of torque from launch.
The engine configuration describes the fundamental operating principles by which internal combustion engines are categorized. Piston engines are often categorized by their cylinder layout, valves and camshafts. Wankel engines are often categorized by the number of rotors present. Gas turbine engines are often categorized into turbojets ...
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]
Although Mazda is well known for their Wankel "rotary" engines, the company has been manufacturing piston engines since the earliest years of the Toyo Kogyo company. Early on, they produced overhead camshaft, aluminum blocks, and an innovative block containing both the engine and transmission in one unit.
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.
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 ...
