It was a piss take at the narrator getting the incriment units of measurement incorrect; he said nanometres of torque which is incorrect and isn't something to be boasting about, so easy to assume that he meant Newton metres of torque (which is the correct unit of measurement) and the hint is in the name, right? Newtonmetres of torque named after Sir Isaac Newton. He existed and that's a correct measurement of torque. Nanometres of torque maybe unit of measurement that etymologists use to describe the the amount of torque a grasshoppers legs produce or something like that?

      In Theoretical numbers you are right.
      The sun that you quoted is an extrapolation of the designed output for the 125. Run that figure on a 250, yz450f, cbr 650…..you will end up with some very strange numbers.
      If my memory serves, it was either the first gen R1 or the second where they managed, very nearly, a true 1:1. That is 1hp per cubic inch. Engine tech has not moved much since then. In 03 the V&M Yamaha Mann TT bike spent 100,000 hrs on the dyno trying to find more power…..they got 5 by adjusting fuel delivery……..
      The only exact numbers in engines is the physical size that you measure right then and there.

    Add a turbo. Rotaries have high egt's. Best way to recover that lost thermal energy is to convert it into boost. Then this bike would be nuts.

    • @beaumombelli9378
      @beaumombelli9378 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      @Matthew-wn8oq True. Most oems aim for smooth linear power delivery to maintain traction when pushing the limits of the machine. But if they were truly aiming for practical, I think a rotary just from a reliability, emissions and fuel consumption standpoint sort of negate that. I understand the technology has come a long way on the sealing front. But still. They started with a challenging platform. Definitely unique though.

    At the 1996 RC onroad worlds (I finished 12th), I met a guy named Mike Swager, his motor guy was Ron Perris (now RIP) built mikes single cylinder, 7 port motor for his 1/8 scale rc car that did 60,000 rpm on 80% nitro and was 0.21ci or 3.5cc that made 4hp on the dyno. Scaled up that is 1142hp per liter, or 3.58 times the power this motor makes. Remember, this was in 1996, 28 years ago.

      I had to listen several times to be sure he (it?) said that before commenting the same - indeed, torque isn't measured in 'nano meters' but in 'newton meters' or 'lbf feet'.......'nano' means 1 in a billion or 0.000000001. So he basically said it has a huge torque of 142 nano-meters i.e. that it has 0.000000142 meters of torque (when meters is distance). Newton is a metric measure of force and 1 N is equal to 1 kg*m/s2 (T=m*a): th-cam.com/video/PNPjHdtyOlM/w-d-xo.html

    Even though 700cc sounds like a small amount, to be fair, you should count the impulse cycles per revolution which would put it closer to a 2.1 liter equivalent not 700cc. There are three combustion cycles per single rotation.

    In order to compare rotary engine displacement to 4-stroke piston engine displacement, you have to double the rotary engine's size. A rotary engine's displacement rating is effectively measured like that of a 2-stroke piston engine. That's why a 2.6L 4-rotor Mazda (12 combustion chambers) could compete directly along side a 6L V12 jaguar (787b vs XJR-15). Therefore a Mazda 1.3L 2-rotor at 9krpm is directly comparable to a 2.6L 4-storke V6 at 9k rpm (or a 2.6L 2-stroke V6 at 4.5krpm). As a 155hp/liter 3-cylinder 1.5L, this engine doesn't seem all that impressive, and definitely nowhere near F1. What IS impressive about rotaries in general, is their power-density. It's incredibly small for it's output. Something motorcycles can clearly benefit from.....if you can make it last.

      This is true but not totally accurate. The 1.3l stated for the Mazda engine is the engine's swept volume, but because a rotary uses all 3 sides of the rotor simultaneously (albeit at different stages of the 4 stroke cycle). This is similar to how a 2 stroke uses both sides of the piston, also making one power stroke per rotation of the eccentric shaft.

    HP per litre for rotary is divided by three because there are three ignitions per revolution,

  • @fiveforbiting
    @fiveforbiting 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The standard method of measuring rotary displacement is unrealistic. Rotaries actually have double the displacement listed, based on time/cycles, which is the only parallel with piston engines. The Mazda Wankel rotaries rated at 1.3L are only measuring one of the rotor faces or combustion chambers. 1 of 3. However, that doesn't even equate to one full stroke. Rotaries fire much slower than piston engines, but have 3 times the "cylinders".
    1.3L=2.6L.

  • @Puffalupagus360
    @Puffalupagus360 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I've heard various explanations and none hold up under the same scrutiny applied to any other engine for spring rotary engines to claim 1/3 of their actual displacement. If each cylinder face of the rotor displaces/moves 690cc of air per revolution through the engine and you have 3 cylinder faces per rotor that comes out to 1980cc of air displaced per revolution of the rotor. Making it a 2 liter engine not a 690cc one. If you applied the reasoning they do for displacement in a rotary to a reciprocating engine an ls400's engine would be 250cc not 4000cc.
