How does a rotary engine work? Wankel Engines. Explanation of how a rotary engine works. With only 3 moving components, these are an engineering marvel. A look inside at what actually happens.
Comparison with traditional piston cylinder engines:
Advantages:
– Number of moving parts (Only 3 main moving parts, rather than 40+)
– Compact, and lightweight.
– Will not catastrophically fail. (Main concern is apex seals)
– Can rev very high.
Disadvantages:
– Not as efficient.
– Poor emissions.
– Low compression ratio (ties in with efficiency)
