"as mentioned earlier I have been working as development engineer for
Wankel Supertec for two years. Target was the development of a spark
ignited Wankel rotary engine, running on Diesel or Kerosene. I have
actually built and re-built approx. 20 Singles and one Twin rotor engine
(see attachment) in those days. The actual compression ratio was in the
order of 14:1 including a cut-out in the rotor flanks. Without those
cut-outs the theoretical max. compression ratio would actually have been
16:1!

The engine ran on Diesel without the support of the spark plugs at
nearly all loads and speeds except tick-over! But admittedly it ran a
lot smoother with the ignition being switched on. We even managed to get
it firing up on diesel right from a cold start without the addition of
petrol as we used to do at MWE!

Wankel SuperTec relocated all of their development work to Cottbus
University last year - and to Korea, see: http://www.lmlkorea.com/"

Starting to smell like a Wankel version of Zoche's Diesel !

Whats been "leaked" on web now appears to represent more so
a marketing tool than an extensively tested finished design.

Oh well, back to a good ole 13B !

still "Thinking outside the box"
