How Rotary engine works Wankelmotor

[12valvepower1]

steve. you really need to chill out with your small minded comments and rap shit.

go chill out next time before commenting.

[stevie1872001]

@12valvepower1 bro your such a loser i really dont know why im even writing back to you, you act like this is facebook or something like really 5 comments to my 1. i think ur the one who should chill out...chill out from youtube get a life go out btw noone cares if a german car was the first one. n also these motors are garbage at the end of the day, always breaking, flooding, gas hogs n the reason y i even came to see this vid was to xpand my lil mind but i cant bc its in gibberish so POW

[12valvepower1]

why the hell are you even watching this video if your going to be so racist and small minded

[12valvepower1]

stevie really needs to be multicultural and less racially charged. and calm the hell down

[12valvepower1]

wankiel wankel wankel wankel wankel wankel

[Dave0755]

I can't understand Chinese.

[adamslurch71]

@Dave0755 well good for you, but this is German.

[UTUBPLEASE]

if you want a version of this in the English language search my you tube name UTUBPLEASE

[Tunerboii2045]

umm i not sure but i think there going the wrong way sorry to be picky but there turning over the wrong way lol

[stevie1872001]

how the fuck am i supposed to understand this shit

[ss33988]

lol, engine is easy.... if you want complex go see automatic transmission... now thats fuckin complex

[4B11T]

man i thought i was the only 1 who was confused to hell bout auto trannys. thank god im not alone. wierd thing is, as genius as they are, for many cars auto trannys are less expensive than 5 speed manual trannys on ebay

[ss33988]

Yeah i know.

I'll have to take up a shop class to learn this... its nice to know and always comes in handy when you have to replace your own (instead of a mechanic :P)

[12valvepower1]

@stevie1872001 learn german

[stevie1872001]

@12valvepower1 ur cool fuckout why the fuck would i want to learn that POS language

[12valvepower1]

@stevie1872001 to expand your very small mind

[12valvepower1]

diesel=german.

first car=german.

[caprimentle]

very stupid engine design, how mazda ever made it stick i don't know.

[AereVoS]

How can an engine be stupid when it has the best hp/cc ratio? You probably dont know anything about cars. Rotaries are a motorsport LEGEND!!!!

[caprimentle]

very unreliable, and if they are so fantastic how come, rally cars, f1 cars, indy cars, monstertruckes, drag racers, drag boat racers, hill climbers, motor bikes and aeroplanes don't use them, its because pistons are better and you mention horsepower to cc, whats the point of the most horsepower to cc when a frinds of mine 1.3 rotarie rx8 does 22mpg, but my 22 year old 2.8 v6 does 28 mpg, face it, its a pointless engine.

[GriloByte]

Fuel economy does not equal power output. The RX-8 was rated at 247 horsepower from 1.3 liters of displacement. That's about 190 horsepower per liter. Using that same hp/displacement figure, your 2.8 V6 would need to have over 532 horsepower to have a higher output than that rotary.

And Mazda did compete with the Rotary to great success. Google the Lola T616 and 787B for some history on their racing program.

[caprimentle]

but the fact is i don't need 532 bhp, my 2.8 produces 227 bhp so only 13bhp behind the rx-8 which is actually rated at 240bhp, and mine does better mpg so therefore logicaly better, and while the mazda has all this horsepower the most powerfull only has 156lb ft of torque at nearly 6000rpm while my car has 278lb ft of torque at 2650rpm so far more practicle for everyday driving, face it pistons are just generally better.

[GriloByte]

I'm not trying to argue as to which is better. I simply thought that by presenting information you might change your opinion about rotaries, which it doesn't look like will happen.

I will agree that piston engines are a bit more liveable in normal day-to-day drudgery. But on a track the rotaries come alive in a way that needs to be experienced rather than explained.

[caprimentle]

i quite agree, i'm not arguing just mearly debating and agree with you on the side of horse power its quite amazing...... but too many people to often have blown up the engine (i.e apex tips have gone) which happens only after a few thousand miles an from the point of tuning so much more can be done with piston engines and torque is such a crytical factor in an engine, you can have a million horsepower but if you cant generatte enough torque to reach the horse power its pointless having it.

[dimos47ki7]

pistons are better for every day use.

but you are wrong about tuning and torque.

take the rx7 engine for example. 1,3lt twin turbo 30+ kg of torque.

also an rx7 engine can easy reach 500-600 hp and 50 kg torque.

wankel design is brilliant in terms of efficiency but not for every day use

[caprimentle]

but any car can reach 500 -600 hp with a big enough turbo and to be honest 50kg (110lb) is nothing worth shouting about considering a 3cylider tdi 1.4 vw lupo has 170lbft of torque, so that 600hp rx-7 would lose a tug of war against a 3cylider lupo.

[dimos47ki7]

yes but we are talking about a 1,3lt engine...

and your torque conversions are wrong.

50kg of torque is 361,6 lbft.

lupo produces 103lbft torque and its a diesel

[WWWWWWWWWVVWWWWWWWWW]

My '87 RX7 Has over 127k miles on it and still has good compression in bother rotors. Most NA Engines tend to last around 200k Miles. It's the turbo engines that give it the short life.

[caprimentle]

i defineatly agree wiv you on that, unless an engine is built very strong and perfect usually a turbo just melts things and wears things down.

[pissinacup666]

that is also that your engine is more than double the size and still less bhp

[caprimentle]

bhp is pointless without torque as i've already stated.

[AereVoS]

@caprimentle The rotary engine is researched and developed ONLY by mazda in the last few decades. And thats why it has some reliability problems (only if it is not serviced properly or if it is abused by idiot users). Rotaries have been used in drift cars, touge racers, helicopters, airplanes, motorbikes and even the futuristic skycar. google these info man...ignorance is a crime nowadays...as for the fuel consumption...more hp=less mpg and thats a universal rule!

[youknowhat5]

correct me if i'm wrong.. but i think Mazda is the only one making rotary engine.

[mirkowhite]

yes, actually only mazda have this kind

[MisterXkru]

Sehr verständliche Erklärung wie der Wankel wirlich funktoniert... Mag solche alten Videos auch sehr...

Verwunderlich bei so einem Werbevideo aber das Überholmanöver am Anfang: Man möge bei sec 15 stoppen, und mal den Abstand zum entgegenkommenden Auto schätzen... Ist nicht viel^^

[MisterXkru]

sorry, sec 16...

[JCmazda787b]

Well done, Good Job!

Long life Rotary Engine!!

[UnityEnergy]

Wonder if Illuminati EYE is an inspiration? ;)

[apeson89]

Sehr lehrreich! Etwas älter ;) aber immer noch voll in Ordnung.

[HolidayAtHome]

Zwar altes Video aber perfekte erklärung und verständlich =)

Schön zu wissen wie die Technik in seinem Lieblingswagen funktioniert ^^

[Blizzard1337]

haha altdeutsches leeeehrvideo ^^ n1

[metalkanin]

crap my german is rusty LOL ... ok, so where the hell is the center cog mounted?? That's the part I can't figure out...

[DasTierMitDerM4]

now when you say it :D i cant understand it either.

the center cog cant be bound with the axis it would loose any sence it might be mounted with the housing xD

it isnt mentioned and i am from germany so i understood everything... :/

[UTUBPLEASE]

Where did you find this video.

[extradrybeer]

this video is a crack up.old school video.reminds me of something i would have seen at high school.go the rotors

[Janoschman]

tolles und informatives old school vid! für mazda-fans ein muss! :)

[12valvepower]

im a Cornographer.. i take naughty fotos of corn

[jdrumma]

DAS ES TOLL

[zooRacing]

its like a european porno movie! lol!!!

[ss33988]

lol wtf is that supposed to mean?

[UTOTSAHANGIN]

darn no comprende!!!

[ladaladaladalada]

CCCP!

[Keup85]

that was 1 nice vid, im from sweden and now i know how it works pretty much withoutr knowing german :S

[camel9]

Well explained... Prima!

[SmiertSpionem]

Vorsprung Durch Technik! Baby.

[AngryCanadian]

That's what I like about the Germans. I barely understood any of the words, but I knew exactly what this vid was trying to explain. Danke

[STUCASHX]

I agree, good engineers germans. This design is part of the ispiration for a theoretical "barrel" 2 stroke diesel engine design i'm cooking up. I heard the tips that are in contact with the cylinder bore in a wankel are made of carbide, anyone know if thats correct?
