In Reply to: Problem I see is the piston cylinder top vs the plate it rides against. Plenty of issues there posted by Elizabeth on April 17, 2014 at 13:11:59:
They fixed that seal problem by the mid-70s, it wasn't a problem in cars after that. And actually, most of the "seal problem" was due to the car maintenance regimen (lack of) by (North) Americans compared to the Japanese of the day. Their downfall for cars is their poor fuel efficiency, though rotaries can theoretically burn just about "anything" as fuel. Also have lowish torque, but are easily stacked like cylinders to improve that if fuel $ (from high rpm) is no problem. Wankels are still widely used in places where great reliability and low vibration are major considerations, like small single-engined flying machines.
