A rotary Wankel engine consists of a triangular rotor spinning inside an epitrochoid housing. A liquid piston engine consists of an epitrochoid rotor spinning inside a triangular housing and this makes it better in every way. So today we will take an in-depth look at this engine, we will analyze its benefits, its drawbacks, we will compare it with traditional piston engines and Wankel rotary engines to measure it’s potential to change everything. If we observe the animation of the engine in operation we can observe that the Non-Wankel X engine which has a fundamentally different thermodynamic cycle, architecture and operation completes three combustion events for a single rotation of the rotor and does intake, compression, combustion and exhaust. Just like a Wankel engine. Is this nonsense? It’s not and that’s because the inverted geometry of the x-engine enables it to overcome a major limiting factor of the Wankel engine. Kenichi Yamamoto is the father of Mazda’s Wankel engine, he is the man behind Mazda’s inspirational endeavor to make Wankel engines viable for mass production and in 1981 Mr. Yamamoto wrote a book called the Rotary engine. In this book he discusses and calculates the compression ratio for Wankel engine. And it turns out that the practical compression ratio limit for a Wankel engine is around 12:1. This limit is a consequence of the geometry of the Rotary Wankel and the resulting shape of the combustion chambers. This compression ratio limit also...
