NEW ROTARY ENGINE!!

[born2stab]

it looks like the most inefficient motor design...

sorry

[Ryknfjor]

and machining for repairs? at a standard machine shop its basically impossible

[adam3176]

hahaaha hell no.. this would not work

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

Its wouldnt run,the compression is too sloppy, and it would vibrates itsself to bits,

it doesnt look like its efficiently doing the processes it should be doing, like a Mazda engine does.

[art1618]

are exhaust gasses evacuated completely? how are the valves operated/placed? lubrication? and when will you have a model?

[Ultralphawolf]

looks like weird goggle eyes

[bertineke1]

i wonder how they have mounted the crankshaft

[RotorMedic7]

And...thats based off your fully functional running prototype? Or is it based off assumption and computer software?

[RotorMedic7]

Looks like a standard ROTARY engine with 4 combustion chambers as opposed to a Wankel design that has 6 chambers...so why would yours be better?

[zimukassz]

ammmmmmm no it isn't regular Wankel engine, the shape is realy different and combustion chambers are conected with each other... and i can tell that this engine is more efficient than simple Wankel rotary engine :)

[zeppelin67637]

@r1ccardo yeah seems like there would be a balance issue but then, it is just a simple animation so probably not seeing the whole picture

[sh3lbot]

it would find its way out way before 8k :)

[LedKenji666]

@r1ccardo are you an engineer?

[dvdprui]

@LedKenji666 it looks to me it'd have issues with sealing...it seems from what i can see a pair of DKW pumps turned into engines.

[Killazz77]

design isnt impratical

[13bROT8N]

i love my rotarys and i like the look of this good luck with it. would like one in my car if it goes well..

Serial compounding,just like you did. I think it's unfair to state only the disadvantages of the device.The device has very many advantages.The rotor could be made smaller,and you would have a huge size to volume advantage,High compression ratio, better sealing, since seals are tangential to the chamber,and no chamber constrictions that plague the Wankel.Good Luck. Sorry I had to remove earlier comments due to some mistakes .(Cat on keyboard).

Great job on the animation. The device is not new however; It dates back to the early 1900. Look at Wolfington 1918 US patent # 1277018,Doyer US patent #3285189 (1966),Campbell #3967594. There are tons of the variations. I did a lot of research on the device,and almost made it my final engineering project before changing my mind. One of the disadvantages is that one would need some valves for a single rotor if a 4 stroke engine is intended, the way around that is serially compounding the rotor .

Great job
