hi,
first post!!! and a rather useless one to the board. im asking for help finding rotary engine literature. anything that can help me better understand the operation of the rotary down to its most minute detail. can anyone help me?

 

Yea...go to

http://www.howstuffworks.com/rotary-engine4.htm

this can show you the most "watered-down" way that it works

 

You want info on just the rotary engine ?

or you want info also on the systems around it like fuel, ignition, emissions, etc

if yes, take a look at (shameless plug):

The MAZDA RX-7 86-88 technical page

Hugues -

 

www.rotaryengineillustrated.com has a bit of information about the function of the rotary engine.

Very good video's on its function.

Good luck, and I am glad to see your IQ jumped about 50 pts.

 

thx guys. appreciate it.

i might try getting a hold of mazda and see if they have training on the rotary through a dealership. :shrug:

 

There is no training on the rotary available through Mazda dealerships as far as I know. There is also no course at a community college or tech school which one can take to learn more (unfortunately).

www.rotaryengineillustrated.com is awesome
www.howstuffworks.com is nice, simple, and to the point

Basically just reading the RX-7 Forum and using hte search function to find out info is the best source on the net.
