Rotary engines are glorious. They’ve graced some of the coolest machines ever made. Championed by Mazda, the rotary engine has become something of a legend in both normal cars (see: RX-7 and RX-8) as well as race cars. Honestly, I thought I knew what was up with the rotary engines. Not so apparently.
This was a pretty surprising video for me. I thought I knew how it worked and what all went down inside the engine as it cranked through to produce that fantastic sound.
But wait there’s more! The same channel, Engineering Explained, which you should all go subscribe to, takes a deeper dive in to why the rotary engine is dead. A sad state of affairs, but it’s the truth. Enjoy!
