Ignition Combustion Compression Intake The rotary combustion cycle. In a rotary engine, a triangular-shaped rotor sweeps the fuel/air mixture along, with each part of the combustion process occurring in a different section of the engine housing. As an apex of the rotor passes the intake port, the fuel/air mixture is drawn in. The intake port is blocked and the mixture is compressed. This compressed fuel/air mixture is then ignited by two spark plugs, ensuring maximum burn and maximum power. The force created by the combustion spins both the rotor and the driveshaft. The rotors continuing orbit forces exhaust gases out the exhaust port, before the cycle begins again. The revolutionary heart that beats inside the Mazda RX-8 began life nearly 80 years ago when a young man, Felix Wankel, had a dream that dared to challenge conventional wisdom. In 1961, Mazda took up the vision and launched a massive development programme into the rotary engine. From that day forward, Mazda has become the acknowledged world leader in rotary engine technology, culminating in the innovative RENESIS engine, which marks the latest chapter of the Mazda rotary engine story. Unlike a conventional piston engine, the Mazda RX-8s rotary engine has no cylinders, pistons or valves. Instead, two triangular-shaped rotors spin within their oval housings around a common output shaft. As combustion occurs, each rotor instantly turns, and the revs increase rapidly with virtually no vibration. And with only three main moving parts, compared to a minimum of 40 in a piston engine, power delivery is incredibly smooth and refined. With this level of ingenuity, its no wonder the Mazda RX-8 has won the International Engine of the Year award two years in a row. There are two RENESIS engines to choose from: the potent 192ps (141kW) engine with ...
