How does a rotary engine work? Wankel Engines. Explanation of how a rotary engine works. With only 3 moving components, these are an engineering marvel. A look inside at what actually happens.

Comparison with traditional piston cylinder engines:

Advantages:
- Number of moving parts (Only 3 main moving parts, rather than 40+)
- Compact, and lightweight.
- Will not catastrophically fail. (Main concern is apex seals)
- Can rev very high.

Disadvantages:
- Not as efficient.
- Poor emissions.
- Low compression ratio (ties in with efficiency)
