The rotary engine, also known as the Wankel engine
They also invented diesel fuel. Is the Wankel engine used anywhere now?
Yes. New Mazdas use one as a range extender. It's shitty.
Well. You have the pleasure of making a diese engine get to 20k rpm for no reason whatsoever :)
There's some aviation and boating uses. Air pollution regulations have killed it for almost any automotive use.
And the Diesel engine to use the fuel.
In fact, I've got a Wankel engine in my pants right now.
