How Rotary Engines Work major components

[RX2Fan]

I like how this block is all oldschool components! note the 6mm rotor apex seals and the 3 hole peripheral exaust ports.

[iballin10]

The e-shaft is holding the rotor I'm guessing. It has to rotate 3 times faster because the rotor has three apexes and it takes 3 revolutions for the e-shaft just to make 1 revolution of the rotor. There's a 1:3 ration on it.

[lobzdik]

I dont understand how the e-shaft rotates 3 times faster than the rotor... How is that possible if the rotor sits snug on the lobe of the e-shaft???

This guy sounds Kiwi?

@22ness0hayden reminds me of old school videos

I love the way he says "aloominum."

[MDisaster]

@Warblade118 "aloominum" is how the yanks pronounce Aluminium. They have their own US English version of the word, written as "Aluminum" and they put the accent on the first U because they want to be "special".

@MDisaster this guy isn't yank though; he's obviously from a british-commonwealth country

Thanks for the upload!!!

HEY GUYS, NEED SOME INFO PLEASE. I AM NO ENGINEER NOR HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE REGARDING COMBUSTION ETC. WHAT CAUSES THE ROTOR TO MOVE IN A SPECIFIC DIRECTION, EG CLOCKWISE INSTEAD OF ANTI-CLOCKWISE. PLEASE HELP

@GAFFOORYT

It rotates in a certain direction because it is paired with other rotors. When one reaches the point at which it requires another force to keep it going in one direction, the other keeps it going. Another factor that may keep it turning in one direction is momentum. The mass of the rotor will keep it going in a certain direction like a flywheel. In the case of rotary engines, there are 2 spark plugs that go off at different times to keep the rotor moving in one direction.

[KevinChangWang]

It's just my guess... You may find other more relevant information elsewhere.

[GAFFOORYT]

@KevinChangWang THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE INFO

[iamvezm]

@KevinChangWang I'm fairly sure the two spark plugs are for a more even burn and helps against misfires, the R26B has 3 per housing.

@GAFFOORYT

When any rotary or piston engine is started by a kick or battery it is designed to start in only one direction and cycles continue in this direction. You must start rotary engine in clockwise direction in this case otherwise it will not work.

[GAFFOORYT]

@musmansanda thank you, i'm learning all the time. thanks

[crudeoilsystems]

very well done. Thanks

[han5emn00r]

Much helping... keep it up^^

[DeMoeAurelius]

I Love my Rotary!!!

[Martin00028Guitar]

My transmission guy says its just like transmission mechanical logic. He loved working on it ! Its more like a transmission inside than a pushrod engine or an overhead cam engine. All rotary motion!

[unknownally]

Not many mechanics in my area who can work on rotary engines.

and they fucken hate you, fag

[badassszr2]

i fuckin hate rotarys
