Why it’s a generator it’s only going to rev to 4K not really needed cuss ur not rev to 10k and using the rotary to power ur wheels ur doing it for no reason
People miss the point, that "generator " has years of OEM research and development, what we can get from it is better rotor design, better seals etc. we could get lots of new parts straight from mazda that could be potentially adopted to older rotaries.
Wait, I thought constant speed was really bad for rotaries. Something about the vibrations escalating and the rotor ever so slightly changing the path of its rotation
I just hope they start minting new rotary engines again. Finding a good 12a is near impossible and the 13Bs are all stupid expensive. Even used RX8s are going up in price now.
Getting into a rotary is expensive and they’re gonna need rebuilt. Its a matter of when not if. A new motor isn’t gonna change that or the market, they’re still making all the parts for the 13b’s and 12a’s can use 13b parts if you want some things to be brand new like the housings. You just need to be willing to spend a lot, and have a lot to spend.
@@Rshack65 Both of those comments are stupid. A new motor will make others swap it freeing up their old parts thus changing the market. Fact of life. Supply goes up in a supply starved market, price goes down. And 12As using 13B housings is a huge conversion that isn't easy to convert back to. You would need to source the late first gen or early second gen engine to match up their sealing surfaces, fabricate a new set of motor mounts because the 13B is longer, convert to fuel injection or a larger carburetor with a new intake manifold to match the 13B hole spacing, delete the emissions system from the old carburetor, and install a computer to run that fuel injection. And until you replace the rest of your 12A parts and fully convert to 13B you are stuck using those 2 40 year old engines because those are the only housings that mate up and seal. Just use 13b parts is a huge oversimplification.
@ You’re right, 12a and 13b isn’t plug and play and maybe I was oversimplifying it, but it is possible. We don’t really know what the new motor even is, but I still doubt it’d have little to any bearing on old prices, maybe im wrong, but I feel like the demand for older motors would stay the same because well the new motor wouldn’t be the same. I mean I don’t see anyone renesis swapping their cars, it’s pretty rare.
@@Rshack65 Well its just getting to that point for us 12A guys to either keep the car in the garage forever to prevent a rebuild or look at alternative ways to power the vehicle. Shit I'm even looking at converting to electric if not an LS/LT/K engine. If mazda starts producing rotary generators at the scale they did rotary engines I would seriously consider it as an alternative that keeps the rotary heart but ditches the gas/oil guzzler issues. We are literally watching our toys turn into museum pieces otherwise.
@@Rshack65 We dont really know what the new motor is but do you really want to keep going the way we are going, let the prices keep getting higher, and watch the cars go into the museums? Or would you rather mazda produce SOMETHING other than a ford derived piston engine again.
I was also under the assumption that a high revving short lifespan engine should not be used in a high duty cycle application, even if the load isn’t that high.
@@oliververnon8120but it's not going to rev high and be short in its lifespan. Since it's only being used as a generator, the loads are significantly less than if it were to be used to propel the entire vehicle like in a hybrid system.
@@ummmbye1228But it's just not the same man, I don't think anyone has to explain why majority of people don't like the whole "engine powering generator" thing
@@ALC570 it would be a little more than a hybrid Miata. and the Miata already is a 30k car, so it will differentiate nicely. and either way, 50k is average for a new car nowadays so whats the complaint
there are three rotary engine patents planned, one of which is the generator, one is paired with a plug-in hybrid system, and one is the main powerplant with a transmission mounted hybrid
they're probably just testing out which one would be pratical for production, at best it be the plug in but remember they need to get past Emisions testing and also the Bullshit US Cafe laws that have made everything but Suv/Trucks hard to make.
As much as I love the rx7 and rx8 for that matter. I would not like to see a Dorrito engine . There is a reason why the rx7 and rx8 are rarely seen on the road . If this beautiful car made it into production it would be a shame to be on a shop lift more than on the road. I would suggest engine options if the enthusiasts absolutely need a rotary motor. As long as it's not full electric take my money.
I feel exactly the same way. These people begging for a rotary powered car have either never owned one or hate themselves/the car. It was an incredible piece of kit, just one that didn’t work for what they were trying to do. I think I’ve seen a total of 6-7 RX-7’s and 8’s in the last 10 years, not a single one was drivable except for one that was for sale and probably wouldn’t be for long.
Sports cars back in the day: super fun, bare bones, very affordable! Sports cars now days: super fun, full of features, luxury car prices marked up more by the dealers...... IMO This is what will kill car culture. Those used 90's cars are getting expensive because of this.
When the fuck was a New japanse sports car ever affordable? A New FD RX7 were basically the same price as the A90 New, they just depreciated fast because why buy an unreliable rotary engined RX7 when you could buy a C4 vette. The MR2 was cheap New do. Also the Rx7, MX5, Mr2, zz-1 and S2000 would be the only actual japanse sports cars of 90s with everything else being a sports Sedan, a GT or the NSX
I see people ripping out the EV gear and adapting that 2 rotor generator into the main source of power, ergo the rx7 successor we all want but definitely won't get OEM.
This door is... incredible! This has to be one of the smartest layouts I have ever seen, and it absolutely is the coolest use of water updates that I know of. Thank you for building this, you are amazing!
in my eyes it would be incredibly capable either way it goes unless they got some issues such as reliability and fuel economy figured out with the rotary (and also avoided another rx7 situation where basic tasks are made difficult) an EV is the best way to go
what I wish is the rotor to act like charger for low speed driving, and changed to drive tyre directly when in high speed, keeping rpm stable and instant power in all rpm range
I do like the rotary engine as a generator. It will run at constant revs, so they can make it way more reliable than the rotaries used in the rx7 and rx8 which had problems. Its also a compact design, ideal for this small car.
I already love Series Hybrids, the best of both worlds. The instant torque & stealth of an EV with Regenerative or Rheostatic braking saving brake pads, but the convenience and sustained high performance of an engine, with no gears to fumble over, no clutch to burnout, and the engine is kept at it's most powerful or most efficient RPM.
I heard rumors the drivetrain is to be a 3 rotor hybrid based of the CX-90. Mazda seems to be taking their time with this car which is good, let's hope they don't fumble it.
Sameeeee, I’m so waiting for that car. I think that could implement the same idea as the mx-30 with the rotary generator. But the car must have the same vibe as the ionic 5 with the fake gears and sounds
If anything it’s held back by that choice of odd cylinder arrangement. They’ll just have a repeat of the rx8 with how far the brands push service intervals now. Apex seals simply won’t last and you want to further complicate that with a stop-start Dorito engine?
I hope more companies make an ev that uses a generator. Not like bmw's i3 range extension is a joke. It needs to be able to keep the vehicle moving as long as there's fuel in the generator tank.
got a mail from mazda which had something about 2rotor for the iconic SP in it. Why would a generator be 2rotor that would make little sense. Im sure its gonna be a hybrid with 2rotor + E
Ya know in all honesty I am completely okay with hybrid systems. I believe that hybrid is great especially with things like that cadillac race car. EV's do suck but a hybrid could open up a lot of opportunities for future car enthusiasts if done properly. (Which probably won't happen cause of out of touch people at the top and greedy stockholders manipulating them in turn.)
One can only hope… I don’t think Mazda will ever make a rotary like in the rx7 or rx8 just because of the reputation it had for its unreliability and thirstiness. That being said we’re in a weird era right now with large brands going back to bigger engines and ever so slightly moving away from their 100% EV lineup promises, so we have no idea what’s to come.
I would take the EV stuff out and Turbo and mod the engine and send it directly to the wheels of maybe move the motors to where there on the front wheels or one on the gearbox
Would much prefer a turbine engine for a range booster. You don’t care about bad acceleration, turbines are efficient, require little to no maintenance and can run on practically anything. Rotaries are a cool idea and very Mazda but have likely come to the end of the line.
Honestly I would settle for 50/50 Combustion powering the front electric powering the rear. Or, MX7 instead of RX7, at the very least prices coming down for the Miata.
Nothing says that we cant port the plates, add more, install an equal-length header, etc. It's a new world, & we're still gonna be hooligans and rebels 😎
I don’t see Mazda putting a rotary into a production vehicle anytime soon. A rotary requires lots of attention and the average driver barely knows how to use their vehicle let alone maintain it. I can see Mazda making another rotary but in very few quantities like under 10k units….
Is there any benefit whatsoever to use a gas engine as an EV generator? Wouldn't that be much less efficient than just using an engine the way it's supposed to be used?
It’s never happening 😂 that 💩 costs a ton to R&D and don’t make enough money 😂 they almost went bankrupt the first time, I don’t think they’ll try again just because a tiny tiny fraction of enthusiastic fans want to see it, most of you saying you want it can’t even afford it, you just wanna see it and have a orgasm thinking about it😂doesn’t make Mazda money they’re for profit
The MX-30 actually kind of flopped on the market. The newest rumors and patents suggest a mild hybrid system with a 6 speed where the rotors do in fact power the rear wheels but who knows. My guess is it would likely have multi side ports too. Even if they get that deep into development it could not work out for any given reason. If you want into the rotary engine game you need to bite the bullet. It aint gonna be cheap. You’re either gonna shell some money out on a strong engine or a car with a strong engine, or you’re gonna buy something cheap and have to rebuild. You gotta like getting your hands dirty, you gotta be someone who doesn’t give up easily. An older guy in the community I met said people ask him all the time “Oh I want an RX7 just like you! What’s the number one thing I need if I want one?” and he said: “Do you have A LOT of money?” A rebuild isn’t that big of a deal. it’s just expensive and everyone is scared to try it themselves. Taking it to a shop is gonna be expensive. Even if you buy a good motor it’s gonna need rebuilt almost certainly during your ownership. They’re fun, they’re fast, they’re loud, they’re a pain in the neck 50% of the time but it’s worth it if you love them.
It just seems kinda pointless. If you’re making an ev then just make an ev, I get the appeal with utilizing a rotary as a generator but it just seems unnecessary. Just do what dodge is doing and make a ev option and a normal 2 rotor option.
A generator just to power an electric motor? In a car? Bro just take out the motor and keep the engine like why make your car a diesel-electric freight train 💀
If they made a full gas option, this thing would be perfect. Maybe an option that isn't a rotary just so I wouldn't have to put up with the rotary quirks too. I think the aesthetic design of the iconic SP is the most beautiful car design of the 21st century, just needs the right propulsion system. Would be a shame if this design was wasted by being an EV.

So fuck the new car just the parts from the new engine?😂
the engines the only thing that matters 🤣 huge deal if its perfected compared to pistons
rotors are different sizes, this thing is around 800cc and older rotaries are 500-650cc
So since they rev higher does that mean better battery output or the same ?
The problem with rotary engine is that they hate variable speed unless it is driven like a race car
Yeah. That's why using it as a generator is not a bad idea, despite the lack of coolness of the system.
That's what makes it a great fit for a generator, I think it's brilliant
