The animation on how a rotary works, I know its out somewhere i just cant find it.
I am interested to know where the compression comes from? I know the 2 rotary's spin and turn at the same time, i just cant figure out where the compression comes from.

I am a newb to rotary's i have been beatin by a few and beat a few, and i dont own one at this point in time. But kinda interested in one.

I am just trying to learn more about it. If ya can help that would be great.

Thanks

Thanks

 

The compression is built due to the rotor rotating in the trichoidal housing (it is more oval that round) and so the rotor crams everything against the side and then boom.

Also, the rotors are offset from eachother so that they fire in sequence instead of at the same time. I believe it is a 90* offset, anyway, as one rotor is in the exhaust stroke and the cleaning spark from the leading coil goes the opposite rotor is igniting.

 

Thats some information i can use. Thanks.

knowledge about everything is a good thing. hehe

 

60 Degree is the offset I think
