Small, ultra-fast, primary and “afterburner” secondary combustion events promise to deliver brake thermal efficiency as high ...

Shortly after, in 1951, Wankel partnered with motorcycle and car manufacturer NSU and just six years later he and NSU completed a prototype rotary engine called the DKM. This first working ...

Here are our top 10 picks. You can find out more about rotary engines here. First on our list comes the earliest production Wankel motorcycle. The Hercules, which was marketed as a DKW in the UK, was ...

“We got there because we think it’s easier to implement a more efficient thermodynamic cycle,” he added. This “inside-out” approach to the Wankel rotary engine is a key differentiato ...

The German car and motorcycle maker NSU was the first company to offer Wankel’s rotary engine in a production vehicle, but Mazda was the company that genuinely popularized this unconventional ...

With years of historical data, we can observe the patterns from past bull cycles to become increasingly capable of making predictions about our current cycle. In this analysis, we take a deep dive ...

Unlike the Wankel, the Tomahawk’s chambers work on the same cycle simultaneously, with pressure going up and down at the same time. The major side surfaces are made of ceramic, which can take ...

Post-war, Wankel was imprisoned briefly but was later able to partner with German auto and motorcycle producer NSU in 1951, where he continued his rotary engine research and development.

and it certainly resembles neither a Wankel rotary nor a jet turbine. But as with the Astron Omega, the Tomahawk TX Trick-Cycle turbine engine’s combustion causes rings to rotate, so it’s ...
