Rotary Engine



This is a rotary engine also known as a Wankel engine. This engine is really complicated. This Video will show you how it works. This engine was designed by a German engineer called Felix Wankel. His engines were installed in some race cars, go-karts, aircrafts, and house hold devices like lawn mover and chainsaws. Even though this type of engine was really small and make more power, it did not go on cars. Until Mazda bought his idea and put this type of engine in there cars. Specially in the RX-7.
After Mazda stopped making the RX-7, which was built to race with Porsches they made a new less powerful and slow car called RX-8. RX-8 has the same rotary engine as in the RX-7, but it is more comfortable, more nicer to look at and most of all it will beat all of the other cars that in this car's price range. All thanks to the almighty Rotary Engine.
