New Rotary Engine Design

- by Anthony McCarthy

The new rotary engine is a welcome development after years of meh emissions and unstable durability. However, a new startup firm, Astron, has developed a 33-pound rotary engine that produces 162 horsepower. This is a far cry from the typical 840- pound turbocharged V8 diesel engine with 340hp and a power-to-weight ratio of 0.40hp/lb.

Szorenyi rotary engine design

The Szorenyi rotary engine is a simple, purely mechanical engine with one chamber, a rotor. It uses a mathematically defined stator. In the Szorenyi rotary engine, the rotor segments change from a square configuration to a rhombic one during rotation. This design achieves a volumetric efficiency of 100%. It can operate with a wide-open throttle without knocking. Its main features are centered around the combustion chamber and the pressure on the stator. Its internal structure features a direct contact power take-off crank mechanism.
