  1. terrance hill " i was told he was fired by mazda" No. He found his girl friend being fucked in an RX-7.

  2. terrance hill Yes, you are right. The other teams complained strongly about rotary engines. Then they were banned. The Mazda in 1991 won Le Mans and when the engine was stripped it was suitable to run another race without any modifications. What it proved was that rotaries run best when at an optimum speed that ensures the rotor seals are flung against the combustion chamber sides ensuring proper sealing. That is why rotaries are suitable for constant speed gensets in hybrids. The emissions suffered from unburnt fuel in the exhaust. Recently solved by CREEV (a type of turbo) which is an ‘exhaust reactor’ that consumes unburnt exhaust products giving lower emissions and improved fuel efficiency by use of the turbo. CREEV will ensure that rotaries will be small. SPARCS gives superior heat rejection and improved thermal balancing optimising lubrication. This results in reduced engine wear prolonging engine life.

  13. Who cares about highly inefficient piston engines. The 4-stroke piston engine can never be efficient as it has massive pumping loses and a crankshaft. Its days are numbered. The latest R&D shown the wankel as the supreme range-extender. Toyota have teamed up with Mazda to develop one.

  14. Arthur Henrique Mendes Berté Bimmer McBimface, thinks that rotary engines are only made for cars. Sad but true.

  15. Rolls Royce did have a diesel rotary with one rotor as the compressor around 1970. This idea has been taken up again by Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne who have received R&D funding from US agency DARPA. This is to use the single heavy fuel for NATO purposes. Rotron of the UK approach using heavy fuel oil (HFO) from another angle, they heat the fuel to 98C before injection.

  22. The Rotary gives far more power for its weight and size than a piston engine. When this power is utilised near 100% of the time the rotary is the natural choice. Range-extenders come to mind.

  29. grat96UYA I think you mean piston engine. Not true. The advantages of the rotary are immense. Latest advancements have exceeded piston engines.

  30. +Engineering Explained Then the rotary will do better being one third of the weight and size. The knock-ons are: lower hood lines for better aerodynamics, lighter suspension, more space in the car, etc. If the rotary had a car designed with its advantages in mind it would trounce others.

  35. A 330cc rotary range-extender in a prototype Mazda 2 powered only by electric motors. It runs at a constant speed. This is the future and the ideal niche for the rotary. http://www.drive.com.au/new-car-reviews/mazda2-ev-range-extender-first-drive-review-20131124-2y4p3

  36. Dyani Massa Toyota, with about 15 others have been doing R&D on the free-piston linear generator for range-extender applications. R&D had been ongoing in some places for 15 years. Toyota made a prototype and issued details and drawings. No one has cracked it yet. It is clear Toyota are turning to the rotary engine as a range extender. The latest Prius now will travel about 30 miles on a full battery charge then the large engine, in physical size and displacement, will kick in to drive the car via the power splitter (this is not an in-line transmission as we know it) and recharge the batteries as well. The car is driven via electric traction then IC traction. The whole Prius setup is now 20 years old and was superb for its time when battery technology was less than what we have now. Toyota need a major step up. The rotary will given them a true generator, not driving the car directly via the power splitter. Toyota are aware that the rotary is very efficient at constant speeds and matches the requirements for a part time range-extender.
