The highs & lows of the rotary engine
No rotary engine fitted to a car has ever exactly followed his original idea, but they are named after him because he came up with the concept of one or more rotors which surround, and drive, a central crankshaft, from which power is taken through the transmission to the driven wheels. As the Wankel engine is understood today, it consists of a more or less triangular rotor (or rotors) spinning eccentrically in a chamber which is roughly the shape of the number eight. Rotaries have a reputation for achieving high revs, but this is slightly misleading.
