This video could have been made like 12-13 years ago. When Rx-8 was still new. Lol. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Created by a German. Many makers tried... immediately throw away. Mazda tried hard but in the end the tech is just not stable enough for mainstream use. Nothing really genius. Is just a different way to get motion out of internal combustion. And standard cylinder way is proven superior. The world moved on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kb27 Supersonic October 23, 2020 Share October 23, 2020 i heard the apex must be constantly lubricated, change oil frequently maybe, i can't remember. not easy to maintain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knighthunter 3rd Gear October 23, 2020 Share October 23, 2020 Once apex seal failed, the chance engine caught fire is high espcially on turbo version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic October 24, 2020 Share October 24, 2020 Actually it is genius but not for petrol but for hydrogen. Why the Rotary Engine Is Perfect for Hydrogen Fuel The Wankel rotary has a lot of drawbacks as a gasoline engine, but they become benefits when you switch to hydrogen fuel, as Mazda did with a limited-production RX-8. The Wankel rotary engine is an engineer's dream. Smaller, lighter and simpler than any piston engine, the spinning-triangle design can crank out major power from a tiny package with a minimum of moving parts. But there are major drawbacks. A Wankel engine doesn't burn fuel nearly as cleanly or efficiently as a piston engine. That leads to dirty emissions—a problem that's compounded by the way the engine burns its lubricating oil. Here's the interesting thing: Most of the Wankel's drawbacks turn into advantages with one simple change. All you have to do is swap fuels, from gasoline to hydrogen. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windwaver Turbocharged October 24, 2020 Share October 24, 2020 No need to swap fuel. Just swap a rocket engine sufficient. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
