Wankel Rotary Engine: A History by John B. Hege Well Done Conceived in the 1930s‚ simplified and successfully tested in the 1950s‚ the darling of the automotive industry in the early 1970s‚ then all but abandoned before resurging for a brilliant run as a high-performance powerplant for Mazda‚ the Wankel rotary engine has long been an object of fascination and more than a little mystery. A remarkably simple design (yet understood by few)‚ it boasts compact size‚ light weight and nearly vibration-free

Rotary Engine – Huge Power in a Small Box According to Philip’s Encyclopedia Wankel rotary engine or just Wankel engine is “Internal combustion engine with rotors instead of pistons.” That not so popular engine is actually about two times lighter than a four cylinder piston engine‚ the one that we all have in our cars‚ for the same power output. It also has four times less moving parts. Much simpler‚ much lighter‚ much smaller it has numerous advantages over a conventional piston engine.

In The Belief Engine‚ James Alcock introduces two interesting components in our internal belief engine‚ the Critical-Thinking Unit‚ and the Memory Unit. These two corresponding items work hand and hand to help logical thinkers to understand the world around them through personally analyzing their own past without bias from the Emotional Response Unit‚ or any other conflicting counter-part. Critical thinking is not an innate ability. As mentioned in the article many of us are born with what Alcock

Turboprop engines Turboprop engines are a type of aircraft powerplant that use a gas turbine to drive a propeller. The gas turbine is designed specifically for this application‚ with almost all of its output being used to drive the propeller. The engine’s exhaust gases contain little energy compared to a jet engine and play a minor role in the propulsion of the aircraft. The propeller is coupled to the turbine through a reduction gear that converts the high RPM‚ low torque output to low RPM‚
