  • An animation showing the different types of porting and the difference they make would be really helpful. I'm having a lot of trouble deciding which way to go in terms of porting.

    The video is great though! Like someone below me said "taught me more about rotarys than my father ever did".

  • @mfpimp28 Thanks for the feedback, showing the different types of porting was originally a goal of mine but I ran out of time. Just to clarify, the port types shown in this video are peripheral, which you would only find on a heavily modified engine or race engine(such as the 787b). Mazda production motors use side-intake ports located on the side housings and peripheral exhaust ports located on the rotor housing. There are many sources on books.google.com explaining the types of ports. Thanks!

  • @BlendEngine felix wankel invented this in 1924

  • Wow! That is so awesome. Who ever invented this must have a beast brain.

  • great video, way underrated. definately a mandatory view if interested in rotarys!

  • @watchingfrom92 AND in less than two minutes.

  • @Tpigboy Same thing, It has Rotors. But wankel designed it.

  • thats a wankel engine, not a rotary engine

  • Man, I wonder if he did this as a final CAD project. GREAT JOB!
