      jokes aside, they have maximum rpms .... they are just stupid high. The normal production cars already do around 9000rpm. The 787B probably does around 56 Million rpm or something ....

    What kind of a complete mad man do you have to be to build a 12-rotor engine? You could easily power a decent sized tank with this.

    • @fallencommaner
      @fallencommaner 8 ปีที่แล้ว +486

      You really couldn't... Rotary engines produce a shockingly small amount of torque. Which was why the REPU was a flop and the Rx series are 2 seaters

      @fallencommaner 8 ปีที่แล้ว +244

      szafirowy01
      What are you smoking holy shit. Are you confusing crank torque with wheel torque or something? Torque is torque (there is no 'real' or 'fake'), but where you measure it will vary what measurements you get due to energy lost through friction and gearing...

      ​@Thomas B i'm still learning about rotaries, does this mean that uneven number of rotors are inherently unbalanced? like the 20b?
      i would've thought that the biggest part to cancelling out vibrations would be firing order, not rotor count.

    • @manoo422
      @manoo422 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      It went to Le Mans many times, it had one fluke win...ever, it didnt get banned, it was retired by Mazda for being so uncompetitive.
      The 787b was track car, track success was all that mattered...unless your 12.

    • @Real_MisterSir
      @Real_MisterSir 8 ปีที่แล้ว +66

      lol what the fuck you talking about, all you said is totally false man.
      1. The 787B was made in 1991 for Le Mans that year, which it won. It was the first and only time the 787B competed in Le Mans.
      2. In 1992 the new rules of 3.5 litre piston engines was introduced, and in the same move the use of Wankel engines was banned. That meant the 787B had to retire, and Mazda was forced to build their future cars on the base of another company's engine. The 787B was highly competitive as it was both the most reliable and fuel efficient car at the time - the two main components of winning Le Mans.
      3. Regardless of anything, I am talking about exhaust sound, idk why you try to bring in race success and performance into this? Are you stupid, like for real? I can't tell.. But please, do educate yourself a bit

    • @manoo422
      @manoo422 8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Mazda had 18 attempts with rotary's (including the 767) at Le Mans before they got a fluke win. The ONLY reason they won was the 170kg weight advantage they negotiated with the FIA due to being so uncompetitive in a year that was very poorly attended by other teams due to rule changes.
      Wankels were NOT banned from Le Mans in 1991 they raced again in 94 & 95 moron.
      The 7.8L rotary was completely uncompetitive in any of the classes after 1991 which is why Mazda retired the team. It only lasted Le Mans due to being de-tuned and fuel consumption was greatly helped by the massive weight advantage which just tipped the balance in their favour for a fluke win. They would have had no chance on a level playing field with the rest of the teams.
      The 787 was a RACE car you cretin, why do you think it was created? to sound good for you fanboys??!?

    • @helicocktor
      @helicocktor 5 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      @@Anonymou-s misleading? The difficulty of measuring the displacement of a wankel motor is inherent in its design. Most manufacturers measure only one chamber, the combustion chamber. Why? It's the only chamber that produces power. Why measure all the chambers when doing so will skyrocket the taxes paid by customers. No one would fucking buy the car then. For racing purposes, 2 chambers are usually measured. Some people argue that you need to measure all 3 even. For this reason, the displacement of a 2-rotor RX-7 with a single swept volume of 654cc can be measured as 1.308, 2.616 or 3.924 liters. For taxation or marketing reasons, Mazda decided to go with 1.3, even though the performance matches a 2+ liter four stroke and it drinks fuel like a 3 liter.
      The reason it packs so much power in such little space is also inherent in its design. It has more power pulses per revolution than a four-stroke engine. Oh wait, what's the other kind of piston engine that packs more power per liter than a four-stroke cycle? That's right, a two-stroke cycle, which has the same number of power pulses per revolution as wankels. Go get a degree in engineering and then we'll talk about misleading.
