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) Please feel free to rate, comment, and subscribe!
