Home / How To & Tech / Wankel Rotary Engines Share your thoughts on this article2 Email this article to a friend Tweet this on Twitter Share this on Facebook FROM THE October 2000 ISSUE Wankel Rotary Engines An early casualty in our industry's efforts to build a better 2-stroke By Olav Aaen | October 1, 2000 RELATED TOPICS: ENGINES | VINTAGE The good old piston engine was "on its deathbed," read the announcement. Good-bye to pistons, rods, valves and camshafts; there was a revolutionary new engine taking over the automotive world. The new engine had only a rotor instead of pistons, was fully balanced and ran smooth as a turbine. The inventor was Felix Wankel, and the Wankel engine promised a bright new future as a sophisticated and compact power source. It was the mid-sixties, optimism abounded, and most of the major car manufacturers jumped on the bandwagon. The largest licensee in the U.S. was General Motors, but the concept also found its way into snowmobiles. Both OMC (Evinrude & Johnson), and Arctic Cat produced snowmobiles with Wankel engines for a short period. Arctic Cat imported a Sach's-produced Wankel from Germany while OMC built its own. Unique Concept The Wankel engine was as ingenious as it was simple. A triangle-shaped rotor spun around a geared shaft in a peanut-shaped chamber. The rotor only turned at a third of the speed of the drive shaft and one side of the rotor passed by the combustion chamber per revolution to give a power stroke. This meant the motor fired on every revolution like a two stroke, but the pumping action acted like a four stroke. The incoming fuel mixture was sucked directly into the rotating chamber; there was no crankcase pump as in a two stroke engine. This would give the Wankel all the advantages of a four stroke for chamber filling, combined with the advantage of firing once per revolution like a two stroke. The Wankel also promised to have better fuel economy than the two strokes, and this was important in big outboards. For OMC to gain production experience it was decided to make a snowmobile engine first. OMC had a reputation for quality products in the outboard business, and it was felt that there would be a lot less risk if the unavoidable teething problems could be sorted out in a fan cooled snowmobile version. The snowmobile engine was to be designed by the Outboard Division, so they could gain some experience. With all the major automotive giants jumping on the bandwagon there was a tremendous optimism around the project. The Wankel design team was full of young engineers without a lot of baggage from conventional production, in hope that new and fresh ideas would abound. At the time I was a young project engineer in the Snowmobile Division, and was assigned to coordinate the installation between the Outboard Division and the snowmobile chassis department. Inherent Obstacles It was not my first experience with Wankel engines, I had tested some in early NSU cars in Europe and had been impressed with the turbine-smooth power delivery. At my first meeting with George Miller, the project manager, I was advised of a potential problem he hoped we could solve. The Wankel exhaust runs very hot, and it would be important to make sure it did not become a problem in the sled installation. What did he mean by hot? Cherry red metal glowing under the hood, just like a coil on an electric stove. This was obviously much hotter than a two stroke muffler, and could be a serious problem. At that time the engines were mounted on top of the tunnel where the gas tank now sits on modern snowmobiles, and the gas tanks were in the nose. The muffler compartment was where the engines are now located; between the cross member and the tunnel. This meant that the cherry red Wankel muffler would be located only five inches away from a plastic gas tank. It was too late to redesign the engine location; it was to be mounted in the large luxury chassis which also housed the quiet machine. This would turn out to be a plus. In order to control noise emission, this design had a completely closed hood with managed air circulation. This meant no louvers to let the noise out, and the hood tightly sealed to the pan. The problem with the hot muffler was solved only by allowing the air out after it had circulated around the muffler under several carefully-designed radiation shields. After the air had run through the fins to cool the engine, it was ducted over and around the muffler and finally out through a slot at the bottom of the muffler compartment right in front of the track. The only reported problem with this design was a tendency to melt snow and ice under the sled if you let it idle too long before you shut it off. Occasionally owners would come out after a dinner at their favorite restaurant and find the track frozen to the ground, as the melted snow turned to ice. As far as I know, there was no problem with the close proximity of the gas tank to this glowing hot muffler, because the gas tank compartment had also been well insulated. The Wankel concept had been criticized for its long sealing surface, and the complicated sealing strip arrangement around the rotor. The OMC Wankel engine had no such problems. The steel seal ran against metal-sprayed side plates and had excellent wear properties. One major problem occurred on the first production batch. The rotor bearings weren't to spec and some failures occurred until new bearings could be delivered. OMC's Wankel-powered snowmobile lived up to its expectations as a test bed for the new engine concept. The Wankels were both smooth and relatively quiet for their time, and the power curve was a lot broader with lots of torque from a low engine speed. This made it completely insensitive to clutching. You could throw a bad clutch on this motor, and you would not notice it because of the exceptional four stroke-like delivery. Fuel consumption was also better than a comparable two stroke engine, but not as good as a conventional four stroke. This eventually became the downfall of the Wankel design. We were now in the early seventies, and then we got hit by the oil embargo. Fuel economy all of a sudden became a big issue, and the large automotive companies dropped the Wankel like a hot potato. OMC had hoped the publicity of the major car companies would create a favorable acceptance of the rotary engine, but now the exact opposite occurred. With all the bad publicity about the uncompetitive fuel consumption, OMC backed off its Wankel research. OMC got out of the snowmobile business in 1975. The Wankel design team was disbanded, and most of the team members left for jobs at other companies. Only the Japanese Mazda company continued to make Wankel-powered cars, better known as the RX-7 Rotary, a very quick sportscar which gained an enthusiastic following. If the Wankel concept had been allowed to continue on a limited budget, it may have emerged as a possible solution to the fuel consumption and emissions problems the sled and marine industries face today with two stroke engines. OMC built several large four-rotor outboards that were the most powerful outboards ever made, and when used in hydroplane racing, they totally dominated the competition. There is no doubt a very powerful compact rotary engine can be built, they are now very popular as power sources in sportscar racing in SCCA. Future Uses? Will we see rotary engines again in a snowmobile? It may depend on how strict the emissions rules become, and how much it will cost to tool up for new two or four stroke engines to meet these goals. The Wankel rotary engine had many good features that should have made it an excellent power source. Costs would have come down with continued development and reliability would have been engineered in. The design did not fail on its own merit, but was forced aside by circumstances. The expertise is still out there with the Mazda engines, and it would be a lot easier to get back into it now than it was to start from the beginning of the Wankel era. As it turned out, the OMC snowmobile rotary engine ended up being the only Wankel engine ever manufactured in the U.S., and as such has some historical merit. There are still OMC rotaries out there in running condition to be had for a reasonable sum if you are interested in finding out what it felt like to run with rotary power.

My overall general knowledge of the rotary FARRRRRR surpasses what you read on the internet so I'm not embarrised about anything. Your the one that's hiding and too afraid to put your opinions out there for the world to see while you DON'Tshow your face. That's embarrising! When it comes to firguring the displacement of the rotary, the 13b is rated at 1.3l That's a fact your just gonna have to accept. Again if you think Mazda has falsely rated the engine, how is it they have gotten way with false advertising for DECADES? 1 doktorbimmer doktorbimmer 7 months ago +RotaryPerfection Yup, you made yourself look like a fool. doktorbimmer doktorbimmer 7 months ago +RotaryPerfection Mazda no longer rates the engine as a 1.3 and no longer manufacturers the 13b or any other Wankel engine, Mazda used "Tax Displacement" as a loophole, this contrived method invented by NSU.. not Mazda and is no longer recognized as a valid method of measuring displacement. RotaryPerfection RotaryPerfection 7 months ago +doktorbimmer Dude give it a rest. It's sad how obsessed you are with being right within this discussion. You just wrote 3 separate post in hopes to get me to respond. I've said what I needed to say on the subject and now I'm moving on. Understand his one thing. YOUR OPINION DOESN'T MATTER TO ME because you have ZERO hands on experience with the actual engine. I wont respond to you again so you can have the last word (which I'm sure is exactly what you want). 1 ernie brink rotary hemi ernie brink rotary hemi 7 months ago (edited) thank you sir he is stupid and *we know he is the one *impersonating Ernie Brink the guy in rotary hemi breakthrough thank you RotaryPerfection * 1 ernie brink rotary hemi ernie brink rotary hemi 7 months ago ZERO hands on experience with the actual engine 3 ernie brink rotary hemi ernie brink rotary hemi 7 months ago (edited) dokotorbimmer( bird brain) is afraid of ernie brink he is on to something***???? https://giphy.com/gifs/tweety-bird-cvOmdJLyBfpw4/tile

GOD BLESS THE DOKTERBIMMER FAKE ENGINEER AND ERNIEBRINK ROTARY NEGATIVETY ernie brink rotary hemi3 days agoFuel consumption was also better than a comparable two stroke engine, but not as good as a conventional four stroke. This eventually became the downfall of the Wankel design ernie brink rotary hemi2 days agohttps://youtu.be/mF2lR20aPL0 this one is with offset compression super charged check out more timing and the plug locations you will love it performance performance performance balance power with emissions. and more efficient ernie brink rotary hemi2 days agohttps://youtu.be/mF2lR20aPL0 this one is with offset compression super charged check out more timing and the plug locations you will love it performance performance performance balance power with emissions. and more efficient

  116.  @doktorbimmer  The rotary has the same benefits as a two stroke piston engine: With less space and less moving parts they can achieve more rpm and more power, but they suffer from the same weaknesses aswell: Bad fuel economy and horrible emissions because of a lot of unburnt fuel and actively burnt oil, but they could also be fixed in the same way by simply applying todays technologies to these old engine designs: Boost, direct injection and maybe even HCCI. Sadly the two stroke didnt survive until those became popular but we kinda see the idea when looking at the two stroke diesel engines that dont burn oil and achieve selfignition while keeping the advantages of the classic two stroke. Maybe we will see something similar in a rotary someday but its a very tough nut to crack. Chuckiele Chuckiele 8 months ago I wasnt talking to you and I dont intend to. I cant take people serious that search for videos about the wankel all day long to tell the people in the comments that it sucks. If you dont like it, you dont have to drive it, but leave interested people alone and stop spreading your bullshit. How the fuck was there anything wrong? Being obsolute is nothing but your opinion and isnt based on any facts. In fact you are the one speculating that it wont ever be used again and future will tell. All science is based on faith, you may not accept that but there are no true laws in science, they are just valid until they are proven wrong, and they eventually will and so will you. HCCI isnt even properly utilized with valve control yet, so how would you know that it cant be achieved without? As I already said, I cant take you serious, so there is no point in further talking. Chuckiele Not true, The Wankel engines inherently weak sealing system and poor combustion efficiency make it poorly suited to high manifold pressure forced induction. GDI was already tried back in the 1960's but the Wankel simply cannot support the high static compression ratios required to achieve significant performance gains with direct-injection stratified combustion. HCCI??? How? Its not possible to adapt VCR, VVL or VVT to the Wankel... its limited to port induction and exhaust and does not generate high enough static compression. The Wankel is obsolete... for some very good reasons... it is an inferior design that no longer offers any further development potential.
