Rotary Engine

This animation provides a basic understanding of how the Rotary Engine is put together and how it works. It was created with 3ds max, Cinema 4D and After Effects.

Music from this animation is from the Ford piston engine animation found here:

@SasquatchOverlord Wrong, the Fichtel-Sachs company bought the licensing rights to use the patented Wankel engine from the NSU-Wankel company just like Mazda and many other manufacturers did.

@klikhalno The Wankel engine used today is not a rotary.. Its a "Kreiskolbenmotor" that when correctly translated means "Circular Piston Motor" The confussion starts with Wankels earlier version with a rotating housing called Drehkolbenmotor that was abandoned. The Rotary type engine had already been invented in France with a layout similar to the Radial Type but with a fixed crankshaft and rotating cylinders. Mazda has mis-used the "Rotary" name to simply get out of paying Wankel patent fees

@sergeant5027 It's a Sachs Wankel Rotary Engine.... Got one in my snowmobile.

@gorrammit I just confused myself trying to explain it 3 power strokes per rotor rotation not the eccentric shaft there is 1 power stroke per eccentric shaft rotation.
