The Rotary Engine

What is different about this engine is, well everything. There are no pistons, or cams, or roller rockers, etc, etc, etc. Instead, there are two semi-triangular rotors, which orbit an eccentric shaft(same as a crank shaft for you piston pushers) The engine is very small and lightweight, but it is also very powerful for its size. There are many peculiarities that I couldn't begin to explain, but if you are interested, check out the Wankel Rotary Combustion Engine(RCE) Page. It's a lot of reading, but if you want to learn about the RCE, it is worth it.
