 Wankel engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since the Wankel output shaft is geared to spin at three times the rotor speed, this becomes one combustion 'stroke' per output shaft revolution per rotor, twice as many as the four-stroke piston engine, and similar to the output of a two stroke cycle engine.
Thus, power output of a Wankel engine is generally higher than that of a four-stroke piston engine of similar engine displacement in a similar state of tune, and higher than that of a four-stroke piston engine of similar physical dimensions and weight.
The design of the Wankel engine requires numerous sliding seals and a housing that is typically built as a sandwich of cast iron and aluminum pieces that expand and contract by different degrees when exposed to heating and cooling cycles in use.

Felix Wankel received his first patent for a rotary piston engine in 1929, five years after he first hatched the idea and 27 years after his birth in Lahr, Germany.
Wankel's long and narrow combustion chamber has a high surface to volume ratio, which makes it less thermodynamically efficient, but the cooler combustion leads to fewer nitrogen oxides emissions.
Felix Wankel would later say that the gearbox was the starting point of critical drivetrain problems.

A quotation from Felix Wankel: "Wenn jemand Tierschlachtung und Tierversuch noch völlig unbeeindruckt bejaht, dann ist in seiner menschlichen Entwicklung ein Stückchen Steinzeit noch nicht überwunden".
And because the Wankel does all this in one revolution, not in two complete turns as happens in most other car engines, it's also reminiscent of the two-stroke engines you're apt to find in your lawn mower or your boat's outboard motor.

For Honors Physics at school we have to research a famous engineer or scientist for a project/ paper.
I chose Wankel mainly because I dont really know much about rotary engines and wanted to know more, and he was the only famous engineer related to cars that I saw fit for a project.
So, if you all could post some info, or good sites that you think would be helpful that would be great.
