Although this is a cool video I disagree, it’s more impressive to invent such a machine than to film it. Edit: Don’t misunderstand me, I do think this is a impressive video and a lot of work went in to it.

I already know how they work and after seeing a few videos on how traditional 4-strokes look in action, including yours, this was really cool to add to my watched list! These videos basically confirm what my mind already imagined it would look like based on what I know.
It actually is, I contacted Mazda and they told me nobody has ever done it before except for them, one time back in the 60s. Mazda should know if anybody does.

Yes, it is a shame that so much 'burnt' fuel is wasted. We can no longer accept such pollutants in today's world. But several experimenters have found solutions to this problem so the engine may have a future yet as a classic and compact, lightweight power-plant.
Full size rotory engines found in the rx sereis of cars are the same way. They're super prone to forward firing due to incomplete combustion and the unburnt fule igniting in the hot exhaust. Terrible for the environment. But super cool. Lol. I drove a second gen rx7 before. Super fun car. Didn't end up buying in cause the wireing for the lights and everything to make it road legal was shot. Super fun car tho. Braaaaaapp! POP! POP! POP! BRAAAAAAAAPP!
@@jimparr01Utube I have to add that in a way you're right though: that tiny engine does in fact demonstrate a fundamental flaw in wankels, it just does it in a far too exaggerated way. The situation isn't anywhere near that bad, but the same flaws do nevertheless exist. I personally believe that wankels may never become 'fixed' of their flaws, but we have naturally not seen all potential improvements so it's impossible to know. Sort of how 2-strokes were possible to turn into clean-burning things with slight changes (mainly direct injection and removing the oil from the fuel).
Iv'e been through about 8 engines in 8 years, but that was because of the dodgy workshops (I tryed 3) not building it right. Now over the last 2 years Iv'e redone everything and it's running great:) - long story..see my channel.. Iv'e run up to 20 psi recently but I have read the stock Renesis can't flow more than that besides the detonation risk with it's 10:1 compression. My stock ( 5000km {3100miles} ) short block is running fine on 17 psi but that is mostly because of the E85 not my shit tuning ability.
Doesn't the RX7 engine survive boost much better? The RX7 ports are on the circumference instead of on the front/back on the RX8 if I recall correctly. Do you go through many APEX SEALS?
Tb0n3 I was told that if you mix a little 2-cycle oil in your fuel then it will increase the lifespan of the apex seals. It makes sense if you think about it and digging around the internet it appears to work.
Ive been working on engines for about 8 years now and im being taught by a 3rd generation mechanic. My bosses grandpa worked on the model A fords. This is the coolest video ive seen. Ive only been able to imagine what its like to see inside the chamber of a cylinder like this. Exited to show my boss on monday. Keep up the good work!! 🤙👍👍

@@harmosm1084 If you treat your engine well rotary lifespan will be pretty average in comparison to other engines that we have now. Not a recordsman like some mercedes engines from 200x but still.
I had an NSU Prinz micro car, so I knew about their early Wankel Spider attempts and failures with finding the right apex seals. They were more into making motorcycles and many people know of the company by that crazy Kettenkrad tank-treaded motorcycle in WW2. Great video, I appreciate how much effort it took!
Yes, when I was editing this episode I was looking for some good pictures or videos of that tank, I had seen that a while back on a project that I was working on for the History Channel, I can't remember what the documentary was about but I even contacted the network to see if I can get some of that footage, they didn't get back to me in time to include it. I thought that was insane that they wanted to use a rotary for a mass-produced tank. Thanks, it was a pain in the a** but I knew somebody had to do it. Originally scheduled to be a 2-day shoot it ended up being a 16 day shoot. Thanks I'm glad you liked it, episode 2 is going to be nuts, all of this is building up to episode 3.

thank you so much. as a rotoray addict this made my freaking day. ive always wanted to actually see that crazy little triangle doing its job. thank you sir. :)
I remember back like 30 years ago talking with a group of friends at work about the rotary engine and how out of the box it was. It was the first time I heard about and still think it was revolutionary.
I rebuilt with a friend my rotary engine from my 1982 Mazda RX7 when I was a teenager. What an interesting build that was. It was like building a sandwich.
When you actually put one together, you see that it is really easy to do. Sadly, here in SoCal, I'm one of the few that has actually built one. All the dealerships simple buy a re-manufactured small block from Mazda, swap the parts and drop it in.
Thanks for doing this, super interesting! As a kid, my older cousin had a RX-7 that I always admired so much. I never fully understood the rotary engine until now, and see why the seal was so important and a fail point on the Mazda. Great video! New subscriber.
You have some of the best videos showing things that I'd love to do but can't. The Rotary videos are fantastic! Thanks and it was worth the effort and blisters.
Absolutely love this video, don’t know much about cars but I love them. This gave me so much info on what cars have this engine and I loved the combustion
Holy shit that was cool! I try not to swear in comments, but I couldn't help it. I knew the concept of a rotary engine, but that was it. Now I truly know how they work.
I love ur vids mate.. I can see how much effort goes into such simple exercise.. Not so simple at all.. That's fantastic loved it.. Keep up the good work.. Us petral heads love this stuff.. Combustion engine controls the world last 100 yrs..
As an student of mechanical engineering, I'm very delighted by your great video and being able to see this quality of detail! And see so close a rotor engine after learning about the use Mazda gave to it on their 787B
Once the apex of the rotor passes the exhaust port, the high-pressure combustion gases are free to flow out the exhaust. As the rotor continues to move, the chamber starts to contract, forcing the remaining exhaust out of the port. By the time the volume of the chamber is nearing its minimum, the peak of the rotor passes the intake port and the whole cycle starts again. The neat thing about the rotary engine is that each of the three faces of the rotor is always working on one part of the cycle. In one complete revolution of the rotor, there will be three combustion strokes.
Citroen and Van Veen also experimented with Wankel, but only NSU and Mazda had Wankel commercialized. A nice thought to rotate instead of the existing up/down engines, but some bad hooks: bad compression control, bad fuel consumption and bad CO2 creation.
@@xkexke8081 as Ernie Brink said, by changing sparkplug hole geometry by a very thin flat hole (height of the hole will have the same thickness as apex seal) , but too narrow hole could diminish the effectiveness of the spark,I think we can go bigger in the height of the hole without really having consequant gas exchange between compression chamber and exhaust chamber. Other ideas from Ernie Brink are very interesting and pertinant and there are still more possibility to improve the rotary engine
That's actually not correct. Yes 3 voids are all active, but there is a mechanical reduction by the interior gear size. Wiki wankle and open design tab for an illustration
No Surrender Not necessarily, "but" doesn't have to imply a contrast. Though maybe in formal writing it does... Anyway English is weird and has no rules so lol
thanks for spending so many efforts! it really shows the principle quite visible to everyone - and i mean the principle of combustion driven motors in general

When you actually put one together, you see that it is really easy to do. Sadly, here in SoCal, I'm one of the few that has actually built one. All the dealerships simple buy a re-manufactured small block from Mazda, swap the parts and drop it in.
A dagwood sandwich?
Best Wankel demo I've ever seen. Thank you.
Thanks for doing this, super interesting! As a kid, my older cousin had a RX-7 that I always admired so much. I never fully understood the rotary engine until now, and see why the seal was so important and a fail point on the Mazda. Great video! New subscriber.
Apex seals are the Wankel equivalent of piston rings in a piston ICE,
But piston ICE use more than 1 ring though...
Thank you for your dedication to show us how these machine works. I really enjoyed watching this video and found it very satisfying.
You have some of the best videos showing things that I'd love to do but can't. The Rotary videos are fantastic! Thanks and it was worth the effort and blisters.
Eine bessere Animation gibt es Weltweit nicht , Dankeschön !
Absolutely love this video, don’t know much about cars but I love them. This gave me so much info on what cars have this engine and I loved the combustion
Y'all still killing it!
Holy shit that was cool! I try not to swear in comments, but I couldn't help it. I knew the concept of a rotary engine, but that was it. Now I truly know how they work.
I dont know why, but this is so satisfying.
Dude.. That's just great.
Thank you!!! I could NEVER do this build on my own. Spectacular.
GOOD JOB.!!
One of the best educational vids I've seen in many years buddy, excellent 10/10 😁🇬🇧🇺🇸😁
Dear sir you have explained it very beautifully and a lot of appreciation for your great work!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Wow the sounds on this is absolutely amazing!
Respect! in an era when everybody resources to computer simulations, this see thru model and the high speed video was epic. thanks!
never watched this kind of dedication before, love this sm🔥🔥🔥
I love ur vids mate.. I can see how much effort goes into such simple exercise.. Not so simple at all.. That's fantastic loved it.. Keep up the good work.. Us petral heads love this stuff.. Combustion engine controls the world last 100 yrs..
Sincerely I value your dedication
You are igniting young minds through this process.
Why would anyone dislike this video?!?? Amazing job!
This is tremendous effort! Thanks for putting up so much effort you are such a great person to show us inside the wankel
Sometimes perfect engineering is so beautiful and nice to look at.
As an student of mechanical engineering, I'm very delighted by your great video and being able to see this quality of detail! And see so close a rotor engine after learning about the use Mazda gave to it on their 787B
Do you live in America ?
This is by far the coolest thing I've seen in a while on UA-cam.
Absolutely great content! 😎
I got a Doritos ad before this video
The spining part is a steel dorito
enjoy them, it's free ;)
OP; Your lucky. I got a cancer baby ad, right in the middle of the video.
I got a Mazda ad
Hmm im hungry
This is pretty impressive since it's hard enough to get a Wankel to seal with proper metal parts and seals.
177SCmaro lmao !!! Exactly what I was thinking while I was filming this stuff. That was a good one.
177SCmaro lol. I chuckled at this. So true
Thanks for showcasing the Wankel rotary model engine! THANKS!
I had heard rotary engines come in sizes; this is the first time I see a small one.
Interesting video! Well done!
Thank you
They stopped making the small ones too.
@@WarpedYT where did you source this engine?
Had to subscribe just for the rotary episodes. love my Rotaries.
eddie martinez same!
Same here. Within a few mins i knew it was gona be good
rotarys for Life !!!!!
Dedication of this guy... Never been so amazed. Subscribed.
same
Not liking this video would be a crime...
seriously, this video is worthing millions
Really great video. Very well explained and you "showed" how it worked perfectly. Thank you! If UA-cam is smart this will be on TRENDING!
AdventureSportFlashlights thank you, it was on trending btw, #8 spot...
I’m glad to see ShoeNice is doing well for himself
When I was younger my dad had one of these on a rc airplane. Really different engine. It ran really nice
Thank you for all the neat see thru engines you've built!
Once the apex of the rotor passes the exhaust port, the high-pressure combustion gases are free to flow out the exhaust. As the rotor continues to move, the chamber starts to contract, forcing the remaining exhaust out of the port. By the time the volume of the chamber is nearing its minimum, the peak of the rotor passes the intake port and the whole cycle starts again.
The neat thing about the rotary engine is that each of the three faces of the rotor is always working on one part of the cycle. In one complete revolution of the rotor, there will be three combustion strokes.
Citroen and Van Veen also experimented with Wankel, but only NSU and Mazda had Wankel commercialized. A nice thought to rotate instead of the existing up/down engines, but some bad hooks: bad compression control, bad fuel consumption and bad CO2 creation.
@@dokterbimmer7270 Do you not understand LEAKAGE
@@xkexke8081 as Ernie Brink said, by changing sparkplug hole geometry by a very thin flat hole (height of the hole will have the same thickness as apex seal) , but too narrow hole could diminish the effectiveness of the spark,I think we can go bigger in the height of the hole without really having consequant gas exchange between compression chamber and exhaust chamber. Other ideas from Ernie Brink are very interesting and pertinant and there are still more possibility to improve the rotary engine
That's actually not correct. Yes 3 voids are all active, but there is a mechanical reduction by the interior gear size. Wiki wankle and open design tab for an illustration
Great Job here! Can tell you it was worth the efforts 💯
I've enjoyed your videos, but as a rotard myself, I have tapped the bell. Can't wait to see you explore with this more.
Thank you !!
“But” implies a negative
Not really.
No Surrender
Not necessarily, "but" doesn't have to imply a contrast. Though maybe in formal writing it does... Anyway English is weird and has no rules so lol
The word should have been “and” .. but wasn’t the correct word. Who cares anyway? Clearly I was menstrual when I wrote that
thanks for spending so many efforts!
it really shows the principle quite visible to everyone - and i mean the principle of combustion driven motors in general
You won a new subscriber. Well done on this video. Love it

You're talking about that throttle valve aren't you

First day with girlfriend when on toilet
This is one of the coolest things ive seen in my life!!!
Your videos, topic, production, just everything are always top notch. Keep up the great work sir!
Vision Research thank you, well, without your cameras none of this would be possible....
Loved it and subbed immediately. I had heard a lot of talk about the rotary engine. But never really understood how it worked but although I had watched a couple explanation videos.
And the fact that it took 226 or so takes is already a reason Enough to subscribe if you are passionate about cars or just interested in how they work. Or science in general
Thank you !
My sentiments as well.

Its a no torque slug
You’re so dedicated!!
