Amongst other things I am a big fan of these strange spinning triangle doritos. I could hear all day a PP ported Wankel engine, it just sounds so freaking awesome. Anyone else with just passion for the Wankels?
Fb owner :)
i never liked the coffee-grinder sound, but i think they're ideal for car racing and bike racing
small size, small weight, high power, and above all smoothness
Yes! Yes! & Yes
Owner of:
1988 FC 10th Anniversary Turbo II
O.S. 49PI
The 20B and any 4 rotor has my heart ❤
I went to high school with a guy that built two RX 7s with an exhaust header and intakes with side draft carbs. This was during the 80's, I graduated in 84. These cars would outrun anything that you could buy new from a car dealership back then.
Imagine riding a rotary Norton flat out around the Isle of Man 😁😲
How far did you get!
i would probably end up dead. that shit is scary
Insane
Imagine riding a norton antivirus around the isle of boi
Imagine all the people.....
Living off rebuilds on the Isle if race bikes used old school tech rotors...
English is getting better i see, cool video.
Thank you!
@@VisioRacer thank YOU!
Have you made it to the United States yet? I bet you'd love the Petersen Museum or any number of the car manufacturing museums in the Midwest. (I highly recommend the Henry Ford Museum/Greenfield Village).
@@VisioRacer Make a video on highest reving tractors (PLZ REPLY!!)
OMG!!! I had a 1970 Mazda R100, the first production rotary model, and taking care of it, I made it go OVER 110K miles, before I screwed up an installation of an electric fan, which failed in Houston traffic and burnt it up. Up until then, it was perfectly reliable, proving that they ARE INHERENTLY reliable. I want that radio controlled R100 so bad!!!!
you shouldnt have sold that car!!
well i knew they can be reliable just because they won the 24 hours of lemans the fact they won made it better but they couldve went another 24 so 48 hours they couldve gone before something failed which is just racing constantly so imagine what if mazda made better seals they could replace the combustion motor
now we are talking about some awesome content. I REALLY ENJOYED THIS VIDEO, MORE ROTARY CONTENT PLEASE.
Awesome, thanks!
A fellow Indian rotary enthusiast 🔥🔥🔥.......
@@VisioRacer maybe biggest rotary engines?
This guy is probably the most involved TH-camr with rotaries: th-cam.com/users/RobDahmvideos
i actually saw a norton f1 at a show a couple years ago, the owner even let me sit on it
7:48 omg it's soo cute
Arctic Cat also uses a 295cc Sachs Wankel as well as the 303cc. I believe the 295 was a slightly newer variant. My grandfather had a Arctic Cat Lynx with the 295. It had a unique and fantastic sound. I wish that sled was still in the family.
I love the Wankel rotary engines. Thanks for this one Visio, it’s very near to my heart.
I always get amazed by how far we have come in technology and engineering... We made a lot of progress in couple of decades... I love it
7:50 dude has a gaspedal and breakpedal for his rc car!!
The rotary would be perfect for leaf blowers. Smoooooth!
I'm going to have to build one
I need to dust my .49PI off and let it sing! Such a neat engine, lucky to have bought one before they were discontinued by OS.
So Sachs basically made them all almost.
Approx 60cc Chainaw (Single Blade)
Smallest EVER was O.S. Wankel's .30cu inch model aircraft engine. We had a dyno in high school auto shop class (1970s) that came with that Sachs Wankel rotary engine on it!
The 49PI was designed by Graupner GmbH. ...not O.S.
First time I've actually seen you in person. Have always regarded your video's highly. Great work, keep it up. 😀
It's seems the smaller you go with rotaries they become more impressive but when you Go larger they quickly get overtaken by piston engines
I think it might be because rotaries tend to produce their peak power at relative higher rpm's when compared with diesel and petrol engines. Have you ever heard of a low revving rotary? 😂😂😂😂
The larger an engine gets, the heavier the moving internals become and the more rotating mass they have, resulting in huge reciprocating forces on bearings and housings. Thats why that big freight ship with the huge diesel engine only revs up to like 500 or 700rpm. Imagine a rotary engine of that size having to rotate at 2 or 3 times that rpm (maybe even more) just to produce usable power😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wankel design
A hybrid of a reciprocating piston engine and spinning like a turbine engine that only produce power at high revs. Even starting the wankel is like a turbine . At high revs to seal itself. Its not even recommended to operate it at low revs. This operation is always present in a road vehicle... But not on aircraft where even the Mazda engine has a kit for conversion. Constant rpm at high end is wankels best friend.
@@mr3748 you might want to do some research on big freight ships cause you are way off on how fast they run their engine most big single engine freight ships have a multi cylinder engine usually anywhere from 6-10 or more cylinders ,,and they are anywhere from 50-100,000 shaft horsepower ,direct drive with no transmission and they only turn 75-100 rpm
The smaller engines were even less successful than the larger ones.
@@mr3748 Good point, you also have to consider the Wankel engine only rotates at only one third of crankshaft rpm.
Well researched. Getting better every video
I love your videos and I love how specific they are, very unique style
i think i learn something new every time i watch one of your videos ,, keep up the great work
Nice to see a small clip of 1 of my video's about the sachs Wankel 👍 Nice video again Visioracer 👌👍
Is anyone going to mention the simulator controls for that RC car at the end?? That’s awesome!!
Loved this video. I also find rotaries interesting. I would love to see the size of the rotor for the smallest (like the chainsaw or the RC motors). I love the way they all sound (like angry bees)...
Video game Hell on Earth From GBA Version from One Blade !
Nice video, I didn't know those small wankel engines, very interesting!
Future video idea suggestion: about the current Dakar racing trucks from Kamaz, Hino, etc.
You NEVER cease to amaze me with your content !! 👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦
so much awesomeness, didn't even know such Wankel engines existed. Thanks bro :)
Man I’ve been watching for like 4 or 5 years I can definitely hear your English improving keep it up proud of ya!❤️
Love how the RC wankel looks like a piston rotary plane engine
Low 3hp get lawnmower
Szép össze állítás! Soha nem is hallottam ezekröl a legyártott motorokról! Köszi
Nice videos bro. I think many people have learned so much from these.
Good job.awsome video.i learn lots of things from your channel . Very interesting.
Very nice channel. Love that you picked up the Rotary content...
Wankel engines
Nice video as always!
The last clip was the best, love the controls of the rc car
Your videos are always entertaining and educational. Can you please do a series of videos on cars that have great mpg at 130kph?
Loving the content, please keep it going 👍
Isnt every German car designed around 130 being the cruising speed?
I need that sachs tree cutter engine as replacement motor for my small 2 stroke bike!!
That little rc car doing a burnout at the end was awesome!
I love the rotary sounds like a demon bro
Love the soundtrack! :-)
A damned strange sound,vaguely two stroke-like at lower revs and then somewhat like a four-pot...but really,like nothing I heard before. Bravo,sir,a great video!
I wanted to see more on the last video of the RC car doing a burnout. Hahaha. Awesome video mate.
th-cam.com/video/eYwJguQO4eM/w-d-xo.html
My favorite has to be that Sachs chainsaw at the end! I've never seen or used a regular sized chainsaw that can cut through wood that easily! All the extra RPM's must be the reason why. But still I've only seen massive logging chainsaws used by very skilled operators cut through a log like that!
They sucked and were quickly discontinued
4:03 buddy with the dart in his mouth looks so proud of that sled
Cool interesting videos bro . Keep it up ! God bless !
I love to see a video like” test your knowledge” video that you did 5 years ago :)
loved the last ones
I would love a Norton rotary 🤩
This is my first video in awhile I've seen, and goddamn, u handsome bro! Glad u decided to show your face :)
Love the little rx-2 RC car. Definitely in Australia
dem bikes sound sick :D
yes the video i have been waiting for. i want to make a Wankel mini bike in the worst way. now i know my options
Your English keeps getting better and better!
I want one of the Mazda R100 remote control cars like at the end of the video. They look awesome
OMG that little gas powered car with those custom gas and brake pedals is unbelievably cool as hell, where on Earth can you get one like that? I would buy one in a heartbeat!!!! That is so damn cool please make another video of that little motorized car!!!!
I was going to riot if you didn't bring up that OS, but you did. Gorgeous little thing! I don't have one yet but I'm going to add one to my RC aircraft stash sooner or later. You did forget to mention one key component of the fuel which these engines really REALLY want: Nitromethane. They LOVE nitro. 25%, 35% even with the right glow plug.
The twin rotor is a custom build though. OS NEVER sold it as anything but a single rotor.
The 49PI was designed and manufactured by Graupner GmbH.
That must be one smooth chainsaw
As lovely as 2 stroke🖤
There was a Wasserjet twin Rotary 600cc peripheral port engine Weighing in at only 28kg, engine has made 106hp n/a and 178hp with a supercharger.
This is good stress relief. I will probably never even see one of these engines IRL. This is just for fun.
This channel could cover great transmissions and I would watch. Really.
Cool video again! I really would like to have a Mazda RX8, but as a daily driver it wouldn't make much sense...
I wouldnt mind owning a that Norton f1... I guess they are extremely rare and even more expensive
Great video that ! 😎
I've used a Dolmar wankel chainsaw, it was bigger than that model and had a chain brake.
It's those doggone apex seals. The bane of the rotary.
I had a chance a few years ago to buy an re5, i really shouldve done it, theyre such cool bikes
The RE5 is certainly a collector bike, although its significance is based on being the colossal failure that nearly destroyed Suzuki.
What about the aixro xr50 kart engine? Why is not on the list?
Love schmaalll wankel engines!
I'm a boat mechanic and I remember a 27 ft sailboat in the mid 1970,'s with a single rotor inboard motor to propel it.
Yamaha also had a prototype at the 1972 Tokyo motorcycle show , the RZ201 and Kawasaki also had a prototype.
Van Veen had a motorcycle on the market too ,the OCR1000. The Kawasaki and Van Veen at 900cc and 1000cc respectively are probably out of the range of "small Wankel engines".
It was called the *Kawasaki X99 RCE*
@@sandervanderkammen9230 Yes ,that's right
5:30 thats probably the cooles lawnmower I've ever seen
sachs , nice gears
That Hercules dirt bike sounds like both a 4 and 2 stroke
Brap brap brap chainsaw? Nice!!!
Awesome high rpm engine.the r.c car is a scaled down version of rob dahm' s rx7 build,lol.
do a video on saab about thier engines
1:08 Sound likes a metal guitar bro haha
Visio, I would like more videos about small engine model cars and planes.
Of the most interesting video's
Nice
half a liter in 10 mins? damn, those gas mileage are rivaling some trucks
My volvo D13 chugs down about 10 gallons an hour at 75mph but it displaces 13 liters
@@j.m.5995 yeah my equasion was kinda off but imagine if this mileage escalatedlinearly, how much a 13 liters engine like that would chug in a minute.
That 1st one, the Norton.
Even if that is measured at the crank, nothing compares to that.
It's sitting in the middleweight category, right under 600cc's, and pushing about 140hp. That's older literbike numbers, vicious.
The Norton RCW588 has a total displacement of 1,764cc's and a FIM relative displacement factor of 1,176cc's
Prosim sprav video " diesel naturally aspirated engines/cars with most power per liter" uz sme mali najhorsie tak treba aj najlepsie XD .. super video jak vzdy
Ďakujem, mrknem na to
Hey that's me at 4:02 - 4:18 with my old panther! How did you do that? I didn't even know I was on another channel?
- Å fan!
in Finland the moped engine size limit is 50cc. I would love to see a 50cc rotary supermoto
Rotary 😍
aixro xr50 was my dream..😍
Now they are powering drones for death. Yay technology!
I've always wondered, you may have said in a previous video but, what country are you from?
Very interesting stuff!
There were also Wankels for small aircraft use - but I can’t recall where their displacement range would land (no pun) for this discussion.
There have never been any production Wankel engines for passenger aircraft applications.
Wankel engines are too unreliable for aircraft.
There is a German firm making single-rotor Wankel engines for ultralight use....50 HP, $ 10 K...
@@xzqzq Not in production, there are no companies that offer a Wankel engine with airworthiness certification.
@@sandervanderkammen9230 Thanks !!
OS Wankel offered by Graupener.
You need to spend a day or two with Jay Leno.😎
i heard a story of a 13b exploding and embedding its parts into a reinforced concrete wall when it was pushed beyond 22,000 rpm
*GOOD VIDEO*
Also made an outboard motor
I once had a Yanmar 28 HP outboard Rotary ,single cylinder. Was close in performance to a normal 40 HP OUTBOARD. Pushed a 15’ Tinny along rather well. Mal in au.
Interesting...The first Yanmar Outboard I saw was a D27 on a Boat in North Carolina....It was actually used as a trolling/backup motor, because the boat had a larger inboard engine.
Yanmar recalled all its Wankel engines due to premature engine failures and quickly discontinued them...
New sub!
I have one of the wankel chainsaws it's a pretty brutal sounding chainsaw
Finely
Well sometimes, bigger isn't always better. You gotta find the right size.
Make a video on highest reving tractors
I have two sachs dolmar kms4 saws, one sachs km3 mower, one sachs km48 and mazda rx7 fc n/a.
