ABSTRACT
The Wankel engine is a type of internal combustion engine that uses a rotary design
to convert fuel into mechanical energy. This project aims to use 3D printing
technology to develop a prototype of a Wankel engine. The project involves
designing the engine using computer-aided design software and manufacturing it
using 3D printing techniques. The design includes various mechanical components,
such as rotors, housings, and bearings, which are printed and assembled to create
a functional engine. The Wankel engine's unique rotary design offers
several advantages over traditional piston engines, including higher power-to-
weight ratios and smoother operation. The use of 3D printing technology
allows for rapid prototyping and testing, enabling faster iteration and design
optimization. The project's objective is to develop a working Wankel engine
prototype using 3D printing, which can serve as a platform for future research
and development in the field of engine design.

⮚ These literature surveys provide a comprehensive overview of the history, design,
and development of the Wankel engine, as well as its advantages, disadvantages,
and potential applications.
INTRODUCTION
⮚ The Wankel engine is a type of internal combustion engine that uses a unique rotary design
to produce power. The engine was invented by Felix Wankel in the 1950s and was first used
in automobiles in the 1960s.
⮚ The Wankel engine's design differs from that of traditional piston engines, which use
reciprocating motion to convert fuel into mechanical energy. Instead, the Wankel engine uses
a rotary motion, which provides several advantages over piston engines, including higher
power-to-weight ratios, smoother operation, and fewer moving parts.
⮚ The Wankel engine's design consists of a triangular rotor that rotates within an oval-shaped
housing. As the rotor turns, it creates three separate chambers that expand and contract,
allowing for the intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust of fuel. Although the Wankel
engine has several advantages over piston engines, it also has some limitations, such as
higher fuel consumption and emissions. Despite these limitations, the Wankel engine
remains a popular choice in certain applications, such as in aircraft, motorcycles, and some
sports cars.
⮚ In recent years, 3D printing technology has allowed for the rapid prototyping and
development of Wankel engines, enabling researchers and engineers to further explore the
design's potential.
WORKING
⮚ The Wankel engine is an internal combustion engine that uses a
rotary motion to generate power, unlike a traditional piston engine
that uses reciprocating motion.
⮚ The engine consists of an oval housing containing a triangular rotor,
mounted on an eccentric shaft. The rotor rotates inside the housing
to create three separate chambers: intake, compression, and power.
⮚ Fuel and air are introduced into the intake chamber, compressed in
the compression chamber, and ignited in the power chamber,
causing the rotor to turn and generate power.
⮚ The Wankel engine has a simpler design, lighter weight, and higher
power-to-weight ratio than a traditional engine, but also has higher
fuel consumption and emissions.

ADVANTAGES
⮚ The Wankel engine is considerably lighter , simpler .
⮚ There are no connecting rods
⮚ There is no crankshaft .
⮚ The simplicity of design and smaller size allows for
saving construction costs
⮚ High torque
DISADVANTAGE

⮚ It consumes a lot of fuel.


⮚ Rotary engine produces very less torque.
⮚ The spare parts are very costly.
⮚ There is incomplete combustion of
the air-fuel mixture. so the emission is
heavy.
APPLICATION
⮚ Used in Aircraft.
⮚ Racing car.
⮚ For mini, micro, and micro-mini engine designs.
⮚ The most exotic use of the Wankel design is in the
seat belt pre-tensioner system of some Mercedes-
Benz.
⮚ Go-karts, personal water craft and auxiliary
power units for aircraft.
MATERIAL
CONCLUSION
⮚ The Wankel engine has the potential to be a
replacement for the reciprocating engine. In theory
it is more efficient in the design in comparison to
the weight, power, and efficiency of the
reciprocating engine. This however is all in theory
as of the moment.
