Title: For Newbies Like Me...
Post by: trotter on September 27, 2006, 11:55:49 PM
Been starting my research into rexes b4 i get my FD and thought it would be a good idea to start at the beginning and find out exactly how rotary motors work. Was searching the \'Net the other day and came across this site:

http://www.rotaryengineillustrated.com/ (http://www.rotaryengineillustrated.com/)

Answered most of my qustions in one go! got some superb animations as well if you, (like me), prefer to learn by seeing/doing rather than reading!

Anyway thought it may be of some use to peeps on here (apologies if its already been posted! :Hammer )

ps: how come something so simple (ie: 20 or so main bits) can produce such awesome performance??? :mmmm

Yeah you\'ll find tons of information on the rotary engine (http://www.rotaryengineillustrated.com/how-a-wankel-rotary-engine-works/index.php). There, have you seen the fast and furious rotary engine animation (http://www.rotaryengineillustrated.com/wankel-engine-animations/index.php)?
