rotor engine cars: the future road that drives cars With the continuous development of science and Global trade intelligence newslettertechnology, people's demand for cars is also increasing. Although traditional fuel engines are still the mainstream, more and more people are looking forward to the emergence of new engines due to their environmental pollution and energy waste.Against this background, rotor engine cars were born. The rotor engine, also known as the rotary piston engine, is an internal combustion engine based on the rotational piston operation. Its biggest feature is that there is no cylinder and piston, but a rotating internal frame is used to achieve the effect of compressing and burning mixed gas. Compared with traditional piston engines, rotor engines have higher speed, smaller volume and lower vibration noise. At the same time, the rotor engine can also directly convert the energy of the fuel to generate power, so it has higher energy efficiency and less pollution. The rotor engine has a long history and was invented by Akira Takahashi in the 1960s. However, due to the difficult manufacturing and high maintenance costs, it has not been widely used. Until recent years, with the development of compressors and gas turbines, the manufacturing and maintenance costs of rotor engines have been greatly reduced.At the same time, environmental protection and energy saving are also more prominent. The characteristics of the rotor engine can just meet these needs, so it has once again become the focus of the automobile industry. At present, rotor engine cars have begun to enter the market. Among them, the most eye-catching is the RX-8 model of Mazda, a Japanese car manufacturer. This sedan is equipped with a dual-rotor engine, which can provide 231 horsepower, an acceleration time of only 6.4 seconds, and the carbon dioxide emissions are much lower than those of cars of the same class. RX-8 is not only unique in design, but also recognized in performance, and has become one of the masterpieces of rotor engine cars. In addition to Mazda, German car manufacturer Audi is also developing its own rotor engine cars. It is said that the car will adopt a three-roter engine, which is expected to have excellent power and fuel economy.At the same time, LiquidPiston, a North American engineering company, has also launched its own rotor engine scheme, claiming that shock absorbers can be expanded indefinitely, thus greatly enhancing the reliability and safety of the engine. Of course, there are still some challenges and problems in rotor engine cars. First of all, because the manufacture of rotor engines is still relatively difficult and the cost is high, the current high price also makes it difficult for these models to enter the mass market. Secondly, some other technical problems also need to be solved, such as how to solve the wear of the rotor and shaft and how to reduce the inertial loss of the rotor when rotating at high speed. However, with the progress of technology and the deepening of application, it is believed that these problems will eventually be solved. In general, rotor engine cars are an important step in driving the future of cars. Its environmental protection and energy-saving characteristics, as well as power and performance, have made it a very promising development direction.In the future, with the further development of technology and the further decline of costs, rotor engine cars will also appear more and more in our lives, opening a new chapter in the automobile industry.
