how does a rotary engine work???

 

[MazKid]

Like what? And why are we posting this here?

 

[DessViperV-10]

well,i fried my brain earlier

 

[MazKid]

Well, the rotor is a rounded triangle sorta, and fits in an odd shaped oval. Crank shaft goes though the middle of the rotor and the rotor rotates oddly on it, the shaft not exactly in the middle. The result is a smooth running engine, and compression, intake, and exust all happen between a side of the rotor, and the rotor houseing. I have an animation if you want it...

Here you go:

must have bad compression...

 

[DessViperV-10]

must over heat badly too :reallyodd

 

[MazKid]

no it doesn't, it runs fine.....untill the apex seals break(little spring loaded things on the edges of the rotor). First gen RX-7s had flooding problems sometimes, second gens were pretty well made, third gens had thin apex seals(for higher performance) and they broke around 50K miles, so you have to get a rebuild. But still a good engine.

Doesn't somone have a rotar avatar? Thought I saw one somewhere.

 

[MazKid]

Loud has one, Nomad has an animated one. But they're both the wrong kinda pic I think, way too detailed for a smilie. We need a pic of a rotor, maybe in the houseing too.

MazKid, I'm not going to put the Zoom-Zoom image in the smiley list. I'd like to, but there's a good chance it would cause a flurry of requests for more slogans, and I just don't want to do that. If you can find the Zoom-Zoom font at the font resource I gave you a while back (http://www.whatthefont.com), you can put that in your signature and it will look just as good.

Anyway, I took the "mazda" text out of the smiley, and I'll add a rotor when LoudMusic gets a new picture.

It's actually an image in my member title. But, I'm the only one who can do that, so don't worry about it.
