Just a heads up: I moved recently, so the audio is a little rougher than usual, but it should be good to go next week. For some reason this engine is inspiring me to make a helicopter.
It's not an engine, but you could always try an orion drive. It'd probably be simpler than any normal project, and might not be too interesting, but it does include explosions.

@@freyawion5337 No, although, they did change some things here and there with the engine, the RX8 only had a rotary engine through its whole production.
@@thelarryman482 I don't even remember making this, I'm sure it makes more sense with context or maybe it was just me making a stupid comment at 3am thinking it was the funniest thing ever I dunno lmao.
Ahhh, I love the Wankel! Such a beautiful design, and one of the coolest sounding engines of all time imo. Some people love the high pitched whine of the F1 engines of the 80s, while others love the growl of the V8 muscle cars of the 60s and 70s, and some people (like myself) love the wonderfully unique sound of the Wankel Engine. Particularly those found in a classic Mazda RX-7! Great job replicating it here. Too bad it can’t replicate the sound too, but that’d be asking too much.
Am I delusional or are you actually seeing and taking in consideration my comments? Ultimate test for this: get the precision physics mod, it helps engines and complicated mechanisms a lot!
Man this guy does everything i want to be able to do in building games, i worked on this when i saw ur cylinder engine builds. Beat me to the finish line
Hello I just wanna say your videos are great, I've seen a ton of Besiege, Poly Bridge, KSP, and Scrap Mechanic gameplay, but there are *very few* people on youtube with the engineering smarts to make half the stuff you make. Kerbal Space Program is maybe an exception, there are some really great KSP youtubers like Scott Manley. Anyway thanks for making such quality content! Your innovations are genuinely inspiring.
Rotary engines were cool. Sadly, the last rotary powered car was the RX-8 from Mazda and was discontinued back in 2011. They were very rev happy and produced way more power with very small displacement, however reliability issues were also becoming a problem. Rip rotary engines.
I think that part of the way this works is that the triangle is a Roleaux triangle, which is unique because the "diameter" is the same all the way around, like a circle.
Fact: That's a freaking Reuleaux Triangle, created by either equally intersecting 3 circles, or drawing a circle curve with a compass, having the pivot point being the 3 corners, the radius of the circle curves being the length of the triangle edges, and the curves start and end at the two other corners. It's easier done than said.
I used to play besiege years back just because of the things other people made and how cool they were and inviting friends to play in the same map to dogfight with jets and stuff
Start with a triangle. Take one corner as middlepoint of a circle, corner A, and let the circle be exactly big enough to hit the other 2 corners. Remove 2/3 of the circle keeping the 1/3 opposing corner A. Thats the exact round edge u need on every edge of the triangle for the shape
not sure if this was already mentioned in the video, but this entire thing could be simplified if the middle triangle was replaced with a windmill/spiked wheel shape.
10:45 no it's not normal. On a real wankel engine, the Rotor touches the housing continously. The Animation from Wikipedia uses a Reuleaux-Triangle as the Rotor shape, which is only an approximation of the correct shape, which is the inner envelope of a peritrochoid curve. The housing is defined by an Epitrochoid curve. Those two shapes mesh perfectly when they are defined by the same parameters.
yeah i'm a little disappointed by how much wrong he gets about wankel engines in here. it's impressive yeah but like, it's barely what it's supposed to be
They consume oil because the surface where the rotor touches the housing needs to be lubricated. But that is of course where combustion happens so oil gets injected in and burned off with the fuel.
The reason it broke off was the brace thought it was attached to both of those structures Edit:I’m watching further and that’s why I stopped playing besiege was because of the rediculous connections it would do
