I was bored and thinking about rotaries like usual but I thought has anybody been able to make a rotary diesel? It would have to hold pretty high compression and be durable but it was just a thought, and it would also be kind of cool to think that there is a rotary diesel.

 

Tell me you're joking and I'll forgive you. And I'd also like to say, in before the lock!!

 

someone has done it wasnt a 13b tho it was a 12A the video is around here somewhere i think youll have to fabricate like really thick apex seals or something im shure itll work tho

I dont plan on making one or anything I just thought it would be cool to see how they would run or just see one.

 

Rolls-Royce made a single-stage Wankel Diesel.

Others (including John Deere) have made two-stage Wankel Diesels... it's difficult to get enough compression for a Diesel to run.

 

most of the ones that do run use a stratified charge to get around that IIRC
