The rotary engine, also known as the Wankel engine
They also invented diesel fuel. Is the Wankel engine used anywhere now?
And the Diesel engine to use the fuel.
Yes. New Mazdas use one as a range extender. It's shitty.
Well. You have the pleasure of making a diese engine get to 20k rpm for no reason whatsoever :)
There's some aviation and boating uses. Air pollution regulations have killed it for almost any automotive use.
In fact, I've got a Wankel engine in my pants right now.
