ALL ABOUT ROTATORY ENGINES

James Watt, inventor of the rotary-motion steam engine, also took up research on a rotatory-type

internal combustion engine.

In 1924, when Felix Wankel, at the age of 22, began developing his rotary engine, nothing

practical had yet been achieved. Wankel researched and analysed possibilities of various types of

rotary engines and reached the optimum shape of the trochoid housing. In partnership with

motorcycle manufacturer NSU, Wankel�s years of research and development finally culminated in the

first Wankel-type DKM rotary engine, in 1957. The DKM proved that the rotary engine was not just

a dream

Rotary engines don't have the cycle of up-down piston movements that normal engines have.

Instead, rotary engines depend on a circular motion.

Each part of the combustion process occurs in a different section of the hous

111.

The most famous producer of these type of engine:

(1) Mercedes 111. Stopped re-production.

(2) NSU-Rover. Stopped re-production.

(3) Mazda, still successfully producing these type of engines, and the most famous models is

Cosmo Sport, and other models are under the name of RX 2, 3, 4, 5 stopped re-product. RX 7 and 8

still successfully product and challenging the best cars which powered by ordinary engines.
