How A Rotary Engine Works (In 60 Seconds)

*Channel Update!* This isn't a shorts channel haha, and likely never will be. Regular, long episodes will continue to be released every other Friday, as they have for the past year. This is just bonus content. :)

That said... I'm going to have a Short for the next three alternating Fridays (between longer posts) to see if father algorithm takes a liking to that strategy. Ultimately, I'm in the camp of "good content wins out," so I put a lot of time into the shorts I'll be making, and if the impact is insignificant, I'll likely just retract back to only long form. I'd imagine a larger portion of subscribers to this channel are less interested in shorts, so this kind of content may end up reaching a different audience. If that's you, welcome! If you'd like to learn a bunch more, there are many rotary videos linked in the video description of this short. How they work in detail, why they ultimately failed, how hydrogen works with rotaries, it's all fascinating!

Spinning dorito

see the problem? THE APEX SEAL ARE GONE!

it's time we all stopped praising Flawed Designs.
Something that needs to be maintained four times more than a piston engine isn't a viable alternative.

What a wankler

You can't deceive me, that's a spinning dorioto

What is the advantage of this?

Indeed! Where can oone find a place that teaches that… 😂 I like the low-key plug there…

Except it’s not very efficient

I used to rebuild these back in the 80s when I worked for Mazda. They were definitely interesting.

Uses a lot of oil though... a lot of oil

Yes I think the channel you’re looking for is called Donut

Please search up why the RX-7 failed
Then come back

It was a failure

Is rotary engine make more power than piston engine with the same ammount of fuel

So is that how cars spit flames

Do you like working on overly complex bs all the time… well do i have the engine for you!

main reason why they are not dominator of engines is they incised usage of fuel and oil,they are also hard to build and have one simple yet expensive problem to fix-Tightness

The best part here is that every stroke is a power stroke

Worst engine ever invented.

is not calling a wankel engine a rotary a misnomer ..this has bothered me for some time

NO ONE CARES🤬

And I thought stormworks was complicated...

One of the worst engines ever created. For a small 4 cylinder engine , it was rather burning fuel like a v6 and not to forget it needed a rebuild every 100k .

And th durability?

Rotax 💪

Called Mazda????

Trading reliability for a different engine

man, I REALLY thought that was a flavored corn chip! god DAMMIT why do you ALWAYS take these things AWAY FROM ME??????

A Wankel engine!

So much un burned fuel...

i wanted a dorito 😭

Welp ik what inside a tank now

wankel motor

No dorito?

Who plays fr legends jere if you can see at fr legends loadimg screen you can see a rotary engine in the bottom right corner

Calling Mazda cars like RX7 AND RX8

Dam, I'd been more interested if it was a dorito 😂

They innovated it just like AC compressors

Wankel

How about teaching us the free energy technologies!
Self powered Electric cars!!!🤗

*Eurobeat intensifies

The dumbest motor ever made.

Imma keep it real bro, nobody thought that was a spinning Dorito.

Subbed simply for your effort in putting the model together.

Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos

Mazda

Lubrication and heat management are also hard to tune. This design has a lot of small print attached.

The Wankel Rotary Engine

In many ways the rotary engine is superior to the traditional piston engine and could have easily replaced it as the standard power plant in the modern automobile were it not for those damned Apex seals.

The physiques of it just don't look practical.
