Wankel engine

The Wankel engine is a type of internal combustion engine that uses a spinning triangular rotor inside a shaped chamber to convert fuel into motion. Unlike traditional piston engines with sliding cylinders, the rotor turns smoothly to create continuous intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust cycles. This design results in fewer moving parts, allowing for a lighter, more compact engine that delivers smooth power output. It’s often found in sports cars and aircraft for its high power-to-size ratio and unique rotary motion, offering a different approach to converting fuel into mechanical energy efficiently.
