Rotary engines

Rotary engines, often referred to as Wankel engines, are a type of internal combustion engine that uses a rotary design to convert pressure into rotating motion. Unlike traditional piston engines, which use reciprocating pistons to generate power, a rotary engine has a triangular rotor that moves in an oval housing, creating chambers that expand and contract to facilitate the intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust processes. **Key characteristics of rotary engines include:** 1.
