Just asking. :-)

The Wankel (rotary engine)does have a huge advantages over Piston engines due to being far more reliable and giving better power to weight ratio.

"Wankel engines are considerably lighter, simpler, and contain far fewer moving parts than piston engines of equivalent power output. For instance, because valving is accomplished by simple ports cut into the walls of the rotor or side housings, they have no valves or complex valve trains; in addition, since the rotor rides directly on a large bearing on the output shaft, there are no connecting rods and there is no crankshaft. The elimination of reciprocating mass and the elimination of the most highly stressed and failure prone parts of piston engines gives the Wankel engine high reliability, a smoother flow of power, and a high power-to-weight ratio."

Do people who ask this kind of question live under a bridge or just dying of boredom !
just asking:-)

They live in sky castles with gold laden streets where lions and sheep play together.

They got to be good, Bellky owns one.

If you own an oil tanker and are stone deaf they might well be a good choice. Especially if you have a penchant for fat girls who in turn have a penchant for tiger print and whose name ends in "ene" eg Charlene, Raylene, Lurlene

How old are you again! Or does the medication need increasing!:-)

And IMO it would take a world like this to make a Wankel the best motor in the world believable,I feel they are pretty much the worst engine in the world .

Not great, but the sound sure grates.

(grate as in makes your teeth grate).

Thats not a great recommendation

One would think that a rocket scientist ( as per fp's profile) would believe that rocket or jet engines were the worlds best!

A Wankel that doesn't stroke ! Maybe good on a boat or something but not in a car

One step closer to killing the no substitute for cubes theory, and done by kiwi's http://www.youtube.com/watch!v=Og2G4FkuL0w

Best motor in the world!

If it ain't a rotor it ain't a motor.

Aero radials FTW.

so how long between overhauls in a BRAPPA! How long (if ever) between overhauls in modern Reciprocating engines! (& the power to weight ratios!)

One would work well in an auto Fairmont I think (but only a Fairmont newer than the mid 80's).

Come now, even if rotors did attract fat girls, they wouldn't fit in the cabin.Girls need to be volumetrically efficient, just like the engines
