sorry if its repost but this is too hilarious, i laughed at the nignog with the chineas writing on his window.

They do exist.

Old school airplane engines are awsome.

the plate style cam in them is awesome.

Too bad I can't insert flash into a post...

I think Radial and Rotory are diff

Re: Piston powered rotarys FTW!!!!!11!!1
 

damn you beat me rotary /= radial

Re: Piston powered rotarys FTW!!!!!11!!1
 

i cant find it now, but i remeber that there was an actual engine that used rotors and pistons, the pistons were boxter style and there were rotors, i cant find it now.

I bet it was JDM YOOOOOOOOOOO

Re: Piston powered rotarys FTW!!!!!11!!1
 

That is not a radial engine, it is a rotary. In a radial engine, the pistons are stationary and the crankshaft moves. That is actually a rotary, the crankshaft is stationary, and the pistons, case and jugs all rotate.

You're probably talking about this.

there used to be an animation for it, but I can't find it.

i really wish someone would find a way to put a rotary ariplane motor (small small one) into a car. I mean there'd be some clearance issues to work out (like sticking 1/4 of the cylinders out of the hood probably), but wow those things produce some awesome torque. Imagine the sound/sight of that going down the road or rippin a burnout O0

Re: Piston powered rotarys FTW!!!!!11!!1
 

Well, if you're talking like the old-school LeRhone rotary like in the picture, they suck...usually made about 90hp tops. I'm big into the old biplane/ww1 flight ----. 8)

You win Final Jepardy.That has nothing to do with a rotary. It's a boxer that tranfers its power to a cam instead of a crank. Still, it's pretty efficient and efficient=cool

That's a RADIAL engine not a rotary dumbfuck.

Re: Piston powered rotarys FTW!!!!!11!!1
 

there are 2 types of radial engines. on e pictured above works like any typical piston engine where the cylinders firing causes the crank to turn. the other type mounts the crank to the engine mount and the whole engine spins instead of the crank. its a crazy thing and very rare. i have yet to see one, but they do exist.

there is no such engine with pistons called a rotary. as far as i know mazda and suzuki are the only companies to make rotaries. im sure there are more, but those are the only companies i know of

Re: Piston powered rotarys FTW!!!!!11!!1
 

GM built rotaries, in fact, they built a concept 'vette powered by one.

Re: Piston powered rotarys FTW!!!!!11!!1
 

The rotary you are speaking of is only one possible kind, and that is the Wankel rotary engine.
Tell the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum they are wrong. http://www.nasm.si.edu/museum/garber...euport_eng.htm

Re: Piston powered rotarys FTW!!!!!11!!1
 

haha what if he was telling the truth? haha like mazda was using a mustang as a test mule for it's new "take over the world" engine and they had some method actor nig nog playing dumb. i thiink that would be the only way that video could be funnier.

Re: Piston powered rotarys FTW!!!!!11!!1
 

No, it's considered a rotary...the entire engine rotates around a stationary crank. The shaft coming off the front it attached soild to the engine, and the propeller attaches to that.
Now that's a Rotax Radial engine...the engine stays stationary and turns a crankshaft in a normal manner.
