was his cause of death a blown apex seal?

who cares rotaries are garbage. ohc is superior

Rotary pretty much died before him and he saw the downfall.

felix wankel was father of the rotary.

says the engine for the rx vision is has been built
and that they are looking to compete with the r35

he didnt change his apex seals out early enough.

>a rotary engine has significantly fewer moving parts relative to a piston engine
>despite this, a rotary is more likely to suffer from failure than a piston engine
How does this work? Shouldn't the rotary, by the law of moving parts, be more reliable?
Jason Ramirez
less parts =/= more reliable
its about engineering. what works in theory does always work in practice.

literally apex seals. if you magically solved the apex seal problem to make them as reliable and long lasting as piston rings, wankels would be the new million mile god engine

inb4 "apex seals"
Seriously though, overall the block is more reliable; it's just the seals that wear out quickly as a consequence of the design.

Does this not still require seals on the block instead between the combustion chambers? Like right at the bottom middle? Also seems to have a lot of space in the chambers that stay cold and- HOLY CRAP the intake and exhaust are THERE!? How the fuck does that even work?

the apex seals have to cover a .long distance across the surface of the rotor housing
piston engines have it so the seals cover much shorter distance
another problem with rotor is the uneven temperature across both the housing and seals
this makes it very hard to cool and lubricate

Christopher Morales
Interestingly, this design is really fucking good. I didn't realize they were using all three spots for combustion. This is really good for heat, as it will be distributed across the metal evenly and you won't have wonky expansion to take into account for like on the traditional rotary.
The main problem is that you can't call it a dorrito no more.
