Nice...

Really good history and operating principles.
A 'must read' for newbies.
Let me be the first to mention that module 02-0220 has the exhaust port over by the sparkplugs.....Felix would not be happy!

Make sure you've got Adobe Acrobat 6.0.

Its a beautifully well done summary; nice sound clips of the LeMans car! I've been arguing with a co-worker about how to pronounce "Wankle." Now I know. The second two modules start out explaining a simple, elegant engine, and by the time you get to the end of the discussion of the Renesis engines you realize how monstrously complicated it all really is.

So, is this really a 1.3L engine or not? If each rotor does the work of three pistons, then shouldn't it be a 3.9L engine?

Thanks for a nice link.

don't start with that: in the end, it all resides on how exactly you're defining what is "displaced volume" and what isn't. so, you can have answers of 1.3L, 2.6L, or 3.9L and be arguably correct in all three cases. for volumetric comparison to 4stroke piston engines, it's 2.6L. in rotary terms (as in 2stroke terms) it really is only 1.3L.

Actually, I've never heard it pronounced correctly anywhere - this presentation included.

The correct way to say it is here.

That is "Vahn-kleh".

Ok, so what's the deal with the metering oil pump going through a self-test every 12 ignitions, stepping from min to max? Does this mean that every 12 times you start the car, it is using a good bit more oil to test itself, or is the amount used in the test insignificant compared to the total used while driving? Also, I don't guess there's any way to tell when this is happening, is there?
