Rotary engine

A rotary engine is an internal combustion engine, similar to the one in a car, but, it functions differently from a traditional piston engine. A piston engine uses the same volume of space (the cylinder) to perform four separate tasks: intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust. These four duties are performed by a rotary engine, but each one takes place in its section of the housing. It's as if each of the four occupations had its cylinder, with the piston going continuously from one to the next. Dr Felix Wankel invented and developed the rotary engine, which is also known as the Wankel engine or Wankel rotary engine. The rotary engine, like a piston engine, relies on the pressure generated when a mixture of air and fuel is burnt. That pressure is contained in the cylinders of a piston engine, forcing pistons to move back and forth. The connecting rods and crankshaft turn the pistons' reciprocating action into a rotating motion that may power an automobile. The pressure of combustion in a rotary engine is confined in a chamber formed by part of the housing and sealed in by one face of the triangle rotor, which replaces pistons.
