Watch my latest video on how a revolver works! https://youtu.be/1s4plUZGj4w

What a legend. This guy is hearting comments after 12 years
-
Whoever made this type of engine had it personal with pistons. Impressive.
-
Ah yes, we have finally figured out the Mazda Dorito
-
Legendary! Love this animation as much as i love the sound the engine makes!
-
It amazes me that people even came up with this sort of thing. The mechanics of an engine seem incredibly complicated to me and I really still don't understand the rotary engine but the fact that people got this idea then made it work is genius.
-
I am actually mind blown by how the triangle rotates in there.
-
A man who cares about the viewers after 13 years while also making these satisfying animations. You're amazing Matt!
-
it's amazing, how complex it is just to make a simple motion.
-
Even after reading various books and other explanations, I've never really understood this engine until now.
-
Thirteen and a half years, and I'm only seeing this NOW? This is the simplest, most complete explanation of a Wankel that I have ever seen. Thank you, Matt Rittman!

Other car manufacturers: What?! You cant have a spinning triangle engine! Mazda: Haha Dorito go brrr

Dear Youtube - This is exactly what I'm looking for whenever I begin my search with "how to" or "how does." We need more of these.. For everything..

Beautiful ❤️

Piston engines have a clear boundary between engine oil and combustion room, but rotaries do not, engine oil will be consumed during the rotation. Meanwhile, the apex seals are problematic due to their limited size and shape; the sealed area is also way larger than a piston engine. Note, the entire rotary needs to move smoothly but also be highly sealed with the two housings sandwiched.

The music is exactly what you'd expect to go with the video.

Clear and consice. Excellent animations, too. Thanks for the post. Great vid.
-
That is... by far... one of the most amazing videos on youtube
-
Thanks for making this animation. It’s a little hard to grasp how a rotary makes a combustion cycle with out seeing it in motion. Well done. I never full understood these engines until now.

I legit look up dorito engine and this is what shows up, perfection
