Designing miniature wankel air motor
Does anybody have any experience (or know someone who does) with building our wankel motors on a CAD system? I'm building a similar version but to run on air and I wanted to bounce some ideas/difficulties off of you guys on here before I speak to anyone else.
Thanks for any help,

I used the the formulae found in the "Rotary Engine" book by that Japanese guy, then I used excel to produce X-Y coordinates for the epitrochoid working surface, then I used an AutoCAD script to import these points into a spline, then I imported that spline into Inventor and built the rest of the housing from there.
You can use the same process, you just have to change the parameters (eccentricity, rotor radius) to suit your needs.

CrackHeadMel are you going to use the mazda style sealing matrix or something else / not at all
what are you doing to do for lubercation if any

For lubrication I will most like prelubricate it before assembly and if it sucks it up too fast i've made some arrangements to handle that situation.
rotarygod Do you just want something drawn in CAD? All I do all day at work is create things in 2D and 3D CAD.
my email is sportscarft2@hotmail.com or you can use djohn187@uncc.edu
Are you familiar with ProEngineer Wildfire?

I've got a 13B rotor housing modelled in Inventor that is perfect in terms of internal geometry.

X=e*cos(3*theta)+R*cos(theta)
Y=e*sin(3*theta)+R*sin(theta)
Then this one is from Rotary Book which gave me some very strange values:
X=e*cos(alpha)+R*cos(theta)
Y=e*sin(alpha)+R*sin(theta)
where theta=(1-p/q)*alpha
Any of this sound familiar?

these are the only other guys to have built rotary engines on a large scale including internally air cooled and diesel versions. who knows, maybe they will even send you some schematics.

sorry it's been taking me so long to respond. Been getting home really late at night's and have been way too tired but now it's the weekend and I'm good, lol. So how about this, I could try and explain it to you on here, and possibly confuse the heck out of you or I could send you a .pdf file of the book "a rotary engine" written by Kenichi Yamamoto himself. That's what I studied like it was a Bible to build mine. It's 156 pages so I hope it will fit, just let me know what you wanna do.
