Automobile starting with the letter w?
There used to be a British make of car called Wolseley. The world's first commercially viable rotary engine was the Wankel engine.
Define rotary engine?
Do an internet on a Mazda RX7 or RX8... other than that ....it's basically an airplane engine..... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A rotary engine, or formly known as the "wankel" engine was created/invented by Felix Wankel back in the 1920s i believe, prototype was designed an released in 1959. Mazda well know for the RX(Rotary Experiment) Gen cars 1-8. There are a few kinds of rotary engines, the ones in airplanes, and the ones used in cars/trucks. The basic rotary engine from a car IE Rx7. has a 13b rotary engine, which is a 2 rotor model. The rotary engine , instead of a traditional piston engine does not go up an down, instead goes in circular motion (which allows it to get way more RPMs). there are plenty of rotary engines 12a,13b,20b, and 26b(which is hard to come close too...AND ALOT OF $$$$$) thats basically a lil about the rotary engine!!!
What are rotary engines?
An engine designed by Felix Wankel and idea bought/funded by Mazda to use in vehicles. Normally was to be used in aircrafts due to its lightweight and great power to weight ratios. These engines are very different from piston, creating the combustion process all in one chamber. Rotary engines are known to be lemons because if you are not a car enthusiast, then you don't know much about how to take care of a rotary engine car. I am not saying it is unreliable but it is unforgiving to abuse and mistreatment than other cars. If you take care of your car very well, then you can own a rotary, along with the right knowledge.
Are cars used in Germany?
This is a joke, right? This must be a joke? Do you have a car? It's engine was invented by a German engineer, either Nikolaus Otto or Rudolf Diesel. And even the Wankel engine was invented by...a German.
What type of car engine is spelled with the letter t?
rotary
What are all the types of car engines?
all car engines are internal combustion most car engines are Reciprocating piston some mazdas use wankel rotary engines hybrids use reciprocating piston engines in combination with electric motors
Coolant rotary engine?
please be more specific, but in short - coolant system and coolant used is the same as any other car. rotary's do run hotter than piston engines on generally speaking.
May possible to fly an engine of wrankle instead of automobile engine?
What, flying a plane with a Wankel rotary engine instead of a piston engine? It's been done, but there are a lot of problems with it. One of the big ones is efficiency: a Wankel engine is 25 percent less efficient than a piston engine. It's also water-cooled, and that adds weight. You have to mess with the ignition system to get the redundant ignition system the FAA requires--they want you to have two completely separate ignitions in your plane so if one stops working the plane keeps running. Also, airplane engines are made to run at a constant speed, which car engines are not.
How many cars can you put the rotary engine in?
I suppose you could put a rotary engine in any car if you had enough money and skill to do so as it would fit is almost any car due to it's small size. The problem with the Rotary engine is that it has very little torque and produces most of it at very high RPMs. It also does not get great mileage. It is best suited for a small lightweight sports car such as the Mazda RX8 it is now used in. It would be a horrible engine for a heavy vehicle or a vehicle that was use to haul or pull a load.
Does Mazda still make Rotary-Engine cars how do they stand up compared to Piston engines?
The Rotary engine, also known as the "Wankel" engine, is alive and well in Mazda's RX-8 sports car. The rotary has been used for many years by Mazda, in a variety of cars and trucks. The engine is reliable but does have some quirks. It is prone to flooding, which makes the engine difficult if not impossible to start without service. There is even a technique detailed in the video owner's manual for the RX-8 which requires "blipping" the throttle immediately before shutting down the engine. The rotary also has a reputation for poor fuel economy and high emission output. On the plus side for the rotary; they are extremely powerful in terms of displacement compared to horsepower. The early 12A rotaries were only 1146 cc but produced 100 horsepower from a normally aspirated engine that was only slightly larger than a suitcase. Later engines bumped up displacement to about 1300 cc but now produce 236 hp.
What is a Mazda rx-8?
A rx-8 is a rotary powered sports car made by mazda. they are the successor of the rx-7. the rotary engine is the only internal combustion engine that does not have any pistons. it is 1.3 liter, but 250+ hp i do believe. it revs very high, but has good torque and is all around a good car. you will be surprised when you see a rotary then feel the power.
Why are connecting rods used in a car engine?
Con rods are used not ony in car engines, but in just about all piston engines. They're needed to turn the reciprocating(back-forth) motion of the piston into the rotary motion of the crankshaft. That rotation is then - via the gearbox, prop shaft etc what propels the car forward.
