This video provides an in-depth analysis of the liquid piston engine and compares it to traditional piston engines and Wankel ...
The electric motor might carry the hype banner at the moment, but some minds remain convinced that there's plenty of innovation left to be extracted from internal combustion. AIE is one of the rotary ...
When it comes to unique engine designs, one of the most prolific is the trusty rotary configuration. Instead of featuring a number of spherical cylinders moving up and down like in most internal ...
Mazda’s rotary engine is coming back in the spotlight, but this time it’s not just a nostalgic callback to the RX-7 glory days. Instead, it’s quietly shaping the brand’s electrified future. Rather ...
Rotary engines (also known as Wankel engines and Wankel rotary engines) are quite different from piston or "reciprocating" engines. One of the distinguishing features is that they don't need valves to ...
If you’ve ever wondered what a single-rotor rotary engine sounds like, here’s one that makes 155 horsepower by Rob Dahm. Rob Dahm is one of those guys who make crazy builds. Just a while back, he ...
LiquidPiston is testing a 10-kW generator it's prototyped for the US military, which it claims is just a quarter of the size and weight of the current model the Army uses. That means it'll be far ...
In a world dominated by pistons, the rotary engine was something different for motorists. It was the vision of German engineer Felix Wankel, built on the belief that the up-and-down motion of pistons ...
Professor Aniebiet Inyang Ntui is a multi-faceted individual whose expertise spans the worlds of library and information science, environmental advocacy, and – perhaps surprisingly – the automotive ...
A bold collaboration aimed to bring research to reality could rewrite the rulebook on sustainable energy. Advanced Innovative Engineering (AIE), the leader in high-performance rotary engines, is ...
When it comes to unconventional engine design, few exceed the Wankel rotary in terms of weirdness. Despite that, the same basic principles of internal combustion apply here: Fuel and air are mixed and ...
