One reason why the rotary engine was horrible on gas is the combustion chamber designed, but if you converted it to propane all the propane would be burned up; they have to make a little bit bigger combustion chamber in rotor.
That is false, Wankel engines operate very poorly on gaseous fuels like Propane and hydrogen, they also lack the higher static compression ratios needed to extract the energy from gas fuel efficiently.
Please do not post false and misleading comments on a topic that you are clearly not qualified to discuss. The optimal fuel for Wankel engines has always been gasoline. Wankel engines are proven to be less efficient and unsuitable for alternative fuels
While i have no personal experience, an old man who lived nearby to me when i was a kid had an autocross car, a mazda rx4 sedan running on lpg/propane, it also had the 'upper cylinder lubricant' injection system from a piston engined lpg car, but he used to put two stroke oil in it instead. That already old and neglected rx4 spent every weekend thrashing around autocross tracks right up untill 2009 without the engine being rebuilt, it only got replaced with a mazda mx5 once the rx4 was worth enough money that even in its rusty, beat up but mechanically still running state, it was then worth more than a stock na mx5, so he sold it and got an na mx5. He said the secret to its reliability was to start it in the morning and not turn it off till you were ready to put it back on the trailer in the evening. It was quite smokey when i last saw it. But it did still start relatively easily.

That is completely false and a blatant lie. Wankel engines are inherently unreliable and are less durable than reciprocating engines. Nothing you can do will change this fact.
Western oils couldn't even do 10,000km between oil changes back then not even in regular piston engines. I don't know if the USSR had lower quality engine oil
Helped me win a car of the day hint game in one my car groups. Said car of the day tomorrow is a rotary and isnt Japanese or German and imidiatly thought to this video and i was right lol😂
After failing with the M35 prototype car, after failing with the GS "birotor" production car, Citroen built an helicopter too, that was not allowed to fly because it was so unreliable. Then they filled for bankruptcy XD
Wankels' compression is fundamentally limited by rotor geometry. A piston engine can have infinite compression if it wants to, but a wankel can not, and even if it could, wankels' core issue are the seals.
They should bring it back. Make a rotary that uses natural gas since now they can't sell that to the EU. 4:39 12k miles rebuild sounds about right? Because the early rotary are basically like a 2 stroke engine right, they need to use premixed gas for lubrication.
WHY? the Wankel engine is obsolete technology. Wankel engines cannot support the higher static compression ratio needed to run on Natural gas efficiently. All Wankel engines operate using the 4-stroke principle, oil injection is superior to premixing
Those things would rev so hard they even tried to market a Holden Kingswood in Japan with a Wankel engine 😂 it was called the Roadmaster or something like that.
They just make lada Riva's wheel spin monsters. Sticking genuine Webber carb's or even 40's dcoe or a single 45 shared between the 4 cilnders would of been better

Nothing you can do will change this fact.
Finally a video on Soviet Wankels
I seem to remember a little reservoir for antifreeze something to do with cold starts?
In the GDR MZ built an Wankel Motorbike Engine,but only as Prototyp Yo can see it in the MZ Museum Castle Augustusburg Near Chemnitz/Saxon/Germany.
East German company IFA was a official NSU-Wankel licensee
Western oils couldn't even do 10,000km between oil changes back then not even in regular piston engines. I don't know if the USSR had lower quality engine oil
Helped me win a car of the day hint game in one my car groups. Said car of the day tomorrow is a rotary and isnt Japanese or German and imidiatly thought to this video and i was right lol😂
The Rotary type engine was invented in France by Felix Millet in 1892.
Rotary engine in a helicopter is a very funny idea
After failing with the M35 prototype car, after failing with the GS "birotor" production car, Citroen built an helicopter too, that was not allowed to fly because it was so unreliable.
Then they filled for bankruptcy XD
It's a very, very bad idea.
Wankel engines are inherently unreliable and are simply too dangerous to use in aircraft.
sounds like a Yamaha 2stroke dirt bike on 4wheels and a roof!
I'd like to see a Rotary Diesel. Is it possible ?
I don't think the effective compression ratio required would be possible.
Rolls-Royce apparently built diesel Wankels... RR gave up on the rotary, same as all but Mazda
sure you can!
These things aren’t event reliable as petrol 😂
Wankels' compression is fundamentally limited by rotor geometry. A piston engine can have infinite compression if it wants to, but a wankel can not, and even if it could, wankels' core issue are the seals.
@robdahm yo bro.... Check out 8:09. Its a meter wide rotor and 5ft eccentric shaft!!!!!
A Dorito spinning in a Peanut. Worst sounding engine ever made.
But did they register the patent in Eastern Block ? No patent, no license...
DDR was Eastern block
Хочу сделать замечание, блок двигателя змз v8 5.5 был отлит из Алюминия не из чугуна. Единственное что там было чугунное это гильзы.
Howveva...I didn't know the Samara got 140bhp! Always thought it was 120. Cheers
They should bring it back. Make a rotary that uses natural gas since now they can't sell that to the EU.
4:39 12k miles rebuild sounds about right? Because the early rotary are basically like a 2 stroke engine right, they need to use premixed gas for lubrication.
WHY? the Wankel engine is obsolete technology.
Wankel engines cannot support the higher static compression ratio needed to run on Natural gas efficiently.
All Wankel engines operate using the 4-stroke principle, oil injection is superior to premixing

My first car was a 83 rx7 wow that's one I wish I kept
What a horrible pile of junk...
Those things would rev so hard they even tried to market a Holden Kingswood in Japan with a Wankel engine 😂 it was called the Roadmaster or something like that.
They just make lada Riva's wheel spin monsters. Sticking genuine Webber carb's or even 40's dcoe or a single 45 shared between the 4 cilnders would of been better
USSR stole wankel for KGB? Seriously?
USSR did a first flight to space.
it's capitalistic way to think than everything can be property,even idea.
"We will waste no rubles inventing new technology. Instead, we copy design from other countries"
The soviet motto
If only I could find one or a fiat 2.0 twin cam lol
Ха, у коллеги как раз "догоняйка" таким двигателем. Вжаривает будь здоров.
is the sound mixing always so bad, I know that sound is a big appeal, but the badly mixed audio makes the video unwatchable for me.
Why u think kgb is not the part of japan, europe and usa?
7:27 Great Soviet thinking: If you have an unsuccessful car engine, just make it an aircraft engine! No danger there.
The engine was obviously a ripoff of Mazda's engine.
Citroen did the very same before, after failing at producing a wankel powered car, they've built an helicopter that was legally not allowed to fly.
Mazda purchased the technology from NSU Motorenwerke GmbH.
Who invented the Wankel KKM design
@@sandervanderkammen9230 Mazda's first successful engine was basically a scaled-down Curtiss-Wright RC2-60. Curtiss-Wright was Wankel's first licensee in 1958.
@@andyharman3022 No, Mazda became a NSU-Wankel KKM57 licensee in 1960.
Mazdas first Wankel engine was the NSU KKM400 (Mazda 400 [ aka 40A ])
@@andyharman3022 The RC2-60 is a massive 6.0 liter engine (tax displacement 2.0 liters same as the Mazda 20B)
Mazda's 400 (40A) was a tiny 2.3 liter (772cc's tax displacement)
Same as the NSU KKM400.
Americans still.
Russians buying.
Using the word "liquidated" for a former soviet company sounds a bit too ominous for my tastes.
A revolution? Pun intended? 😂
It Orbits..
In a distinctive planetary motion.
Never knew soviets jumped on this farting boondoggle of an engine, following the madman path of Citroen (which also produced an helicopter that was so unreliable it was not allowed to fly).

@@sandervanderkammen9230 Respect the rotary.
@@KitKitChanIsaac FYI: the Wankel engine is inherently unreliable, obsolete technology and the biggest failure in the history of the engine manufacturing industry
Wankel engines are so horribly unreliable that the cannot be used in any certified passenger aircraft.
Until this day I had no idea the USSR had Rotary Engines. It isn't a shocker that a) they stole it and B) had issues with Apex seals and the poorer quality fuel
А что такого? Когда у нас воровали изобретения, это никому не казалось ужасным
@@rzhevsky4934 what inventions? As for stolen, when is that ever right?
@@marklittle8805 например, лампу накаливания изобрёл инженер Лодыгин в 1870 году, однако в англоязычных странах автором считается Эдисон. В России все, кто по профессии связан с электротехникой знает об изобретении Лодыгина, однако на Западе скрывают эту информацию от людей. Подобных примеров множество; большинство открытий и разработок, которые вы считаете "своими", создали люди из совершенно других стран
@@marklittle8805 France stole Concorde 😂
2004 was no longer Soviet Union, dude.
VisioRacer you are a spy for having so much data on all types of engines 😁Maybe they also copied the Citroën M35 version and especially the twin rotor GS but the powers without turbo seem very important perhaps an exaggeration for Soviet propaganda
How could they use specs of militia-special cars for propaganda lol
I used to have a RX-7 1981 with the 12A engine.. loved that car man!
no, thank you 1:58
The general public didn't generally have cars in the USSR . in 1985 private vehicle ownership was 45 cars per 1000 people
Чувак, советский союз первым запустил спутник на орбиту, первым запустил и приземлил животное и человека, первые фото обратной стороны луны сделал, спустил туда луноход, на Венеру дрон спустил, космическую станцию на околоземную орбиту запустил и запустил дрон на Марс. Это было государство которое могло все. 40% самолетов в небе были советского производства. Роторный двигатель делали сами. Идея ничего не стоит. Решает исполнение.
And stole Concorde to be first.
But never managed to produce toilet paper or decent cars 😂
Les mecs ont volé Wankil pour le KGB, quelle triste époque
Wanker engines is what I call them.
They sabotaged themselves
Sovjet Engineering, steal everything, then make an half arsed effort to replicate.
they burn out tips and use engine oil nice vid 👍👍
16litres to 100km and a lifespan of 50,000km if you lucky
Just as Wankel drew it, Mazda and Autovaz produced it. Many dimensions are common on these engines, even interchangeable parts. However, Mazda went ahead and tried to solve the seals. So claim who developed the engine - wankel
Felix Wankel hated this inferior engine, the KKM57 was designed by Hanns Paschke and Walter Frode.
All 26 manufacturers licensed the KKM57 from _NSU Motornwerkes GmbH_ they all received the same data package and sample engines.
Like from Russia
Интересно)
Я работаю в КГБ у нас такие сашины
*Зачем КГБ такие моторы и такие автомобили❓🤔*
I'm suprised they didn't take Felix Wankel.
sounds like a cartoon character of feline catus origin 🐱👍🏿
Felix Wankel despised this POS engine
Were they to poor to turbo them tho 😅😅😅

They could have it!
i wonder if eamon hurley knew about the soviet 3 and 4 rotor engines when he started making them from 12A's he had from converting NSU's to 4cyl engines,he nearly died when his rotor powered drag race motorcycle crashed
Liquid Piston has a Far Far better design than the Mazda Wankel
Beware of LiquidPiston it is not a legitimate company and is a investment scam
Why do people call the Wankel a rotary engine? Look at old planes, a rotary is an entirely different thing.
in polish can be heard term "silnik gwiazdowy" ("star engine", but looks like it have to be translated "radial engine")
@@SuperMatiz Radial and Rotary engines look the same almost, they way they function is what's different.
In german it's "Wankel" or "Kreiskolben" (circle-piston)
A rotary engine is a "Sternmotor" (star-engine)
;-)
@@chrisridethatbloodything2044Wrong
_Sternmotor_ means RADIAL
_Umlaufmotor_ is the German word for ROTARY engine
👍💪✌
A stolen Japanese engine design in a faux Fiat: brilliant
East German engine design
