I like the video, good stuff man! I believe back in the day, a few old volkswagen beetles also came from the factory with rotary engines. I'm not 100% positive but I'm pretty sure that's correct.
Wait.. didnt the cosmo sport use a 10A enigne and than a 10B engine on there second Series. The only gens of the cosmo that uses the 12A and 13B engine are the second and third. Than the fourth used a 20B Rew :)
it was banned from the 24 hours of lemans for the 4 rotor powered 787B race car that made over 700hp in NA trim. It was deemed that rotaries were a unfair advantage.
4 rotors do exist and there are a couple companies making them, one in NZ and one in Australia, they are based on custom E. Shafts and 12a housings.
come on people its called google search if you dont know?
I know. I didn't make the video. I just provided info, and was in it a lot. A friend of mine actually put it together for his class. And I already yelled at him for it. Heh.
The "cylinder segments" are rotors and housings. Most rotary powered vehicles carry 2 rotor engines. Some production cars in Japan have 3 rotor engines, and yes, they are more powerful.
Mazda had a 4 rotor race car in the early 90's that was the reason rotary engines were banned in F1 racing. It tore everything apart. I guess technically, you can "add" more rotors and housings, but it'd just be cheaper to buy an engine with 3 rotors. 4 rotor engines would have to have a completely custom e-shaft, since no production cars had 4 rotors, and would be insanely expensive to manufacture.
not necessarily expensive, there's some companies that sell them. since most people cant get ahold of the engine. many piece it together. not too sure but i the the rotaryperformance car has a 4rotor.. not too sure tho.
Technically, yes, you can put 4 rotors and housings together along with their respective backing plates, and, if you have the eccentric shaft to spin them all, all that's left is the custom exhaust manifold, fuel system, and basically everything else outside of those 4 rotors. So yes, it's fucking expensive. Because like I said, it's mostly going to be custom.
with twisting froces. To my knowledge you need a billet 3 piece ecc shaft & dowell or stud kit. All up to build a quad rotor is just not cost effective unless you are runnning the 1/4.
It would cost less to slot in & wind up a 20B and get similar figures.

Got to love the rotary engine.

Why in the stop frame animation at the start is the rotor going the wrong way.
They dont run to well backwards.

Because the jackass who did the stop motion did it backwards. :)

you forgot the guinus book of records that has a 4 rotor outboard motor for a boat. It is the most powerful outboard in the world.

It was part of the requirements of the project. I know it's retarded.
SimplyComplex314 5 years ago
understandable, one quick question, is it possible to increase hp by adding more "cylinder" segments if you had enough space?

There ARE companies that sell the equipment you need for the 4 rotor, but to my knowledge, the only place you can get them is from Australia.

thats right! australia luvs her rotarys!

Its not quite that easy. There were big probs
