The Mazda Rotary Engine Part 1
Educational film by Toyo Kogyo about the Mazda Rotary Engine. Shows how the Rotary engine works with comparisons to the Piston Engine. Also shows the Mazda RX500 test vehicle on a banked circuit and the Mazda Cosmo Sport (or 110S). Originates from the late 60’s.
this is the first video ive seen that has addressed the fact that there are 3 stages happening continually.
@TuxedoRonny it is mainly because they did not have fuel injection and carburators were not a efficant enough way to get air/fuel mixtures in the combustion chamber
Great engine and much less complicated than the Cylinder engine…Mazda Citroen and NSU were the companies that fitted it…
As good as this design may seem, it has major disadvantages. Rotary engines use a lot more fuel, this is because the transfer of energy from the rotation of the rotor to the crankshaft is very poor…….the center of the rotor only moves slightly in a circler motion as the rotor goes around the chamber. It’s this circler motion that then forces the crank to go around, the movement it’s enough to transfer energy efficiently.
@redrocketman123 There’s another olden day educational video on differentials on here which is just as good.
olden days are so much cooler than now.
that is by far the mot educational video i have watched on this topic..
@craizygolf1980 yes everyone knows that Felix Wankel designed this…
A German guy build this, but he was to smart for hes time and no one could back him up…. so a f*รท+# a guy from jap. took the idea and put it to development….. so now every ignorant thinks the jap. came up with this engine !!!!!!
Everything is so much easier to understand if it’s a cartoon.
Now I know how to build a rotary engine, which can take you to the moon.
@eriko5791
Wow, real classy douchebag.
@TuxedoRonny Actually, you’re just a retard.
Wow great video. Learnt alot
all these years ive understood perfectly how a conventional piston engine worked but was stumped about rotary engines. this 1 video cleared everything up
one smart cookie who made this…
@dreadnaught6399 nah man there are three sides so one is always combusting so everystroke (technically) is a power stroke.
@TuxedoRonny
Politricks (Politics) smh. They have a very efficient way of holding use back in so many ways…
@ruberneck43
Germany is not in Asia.
ok in a way these are like 2strokes.
Its a simple concept, less moving parts that waste energy and better transfer of that kinetic energy to the transmission.
damn asians are smart
At first it looks like an optical illusion.
By my understanding of this this should mean that, all things being equal, a rotary should have 6 times the power (and fuel consumption) of an equivilent capacity reciprocating engine because it’s firing 3 times on each rotation whereas a reciprocating engine is firing only once on every 2nd rotation. On the other hand, the explosion is not as efficiently channeled into an obvious dirrection of motion so that’s why a 2ltr MX6 engine isn’t equivilent to a 12ltr engine. Also very precice machining
@meharidude well yeah my bad it regulates but it dosent have valves maybe its because since each side acts as a piston in which case they atleast have 2 rotors which equal 6 its like a 6 cyl atleast also its copletely dif so rotarys are built to be physicaly and kineticaly efficient not gas lol like most race cars
@under82
sorry:D
@supboy666
Compression and intake wise, it works like any other petrol engine, it sucks in a mixture of air and petrol (“gas”) and regulates on the amount. its not a diesel you know:-D
