Wankel Supertec

First time I have stumbled across this site,

Steve Carlisle

I think the rotor is too narrow. That compromises the rotor bearing

and limits the RPM. There is a proper ratio of width to diameter

for plain oil pressure fed bearings. If this is too narrow the plain

bearing loses load capacity.

I spoke to them about it at AERO in 2009.

I think Dankwart worked for Felix Wankel as a technician.

The interesting thing is that they make claims of compression

ignition/diesel.

Little evidence of actual shipping products, though.

I have never seen one out side of their booth at AERO.

It does have a somewhat higher compression ratio but not enough

to run as a true diesel. It just burns diesel fuel. Any Wankel

will do that.

Wankel Supertec run the Diesel version with a spark plug.

I find the Wankel and Diesel fuel do not really go well together as the
Wankel needs speed for power while Diesel burns relatively slow.

Rolf Pfeiffer

Maybe that is what set back the CW stratified charge as they were mostly
using diesel fuel. Rolf did you know Dankwart Erdman ?
