Although the tip seals of the Wankel engine were the most troublesome to lubricate, both sides of the rotor also needed seals, so a fair amount of combustion gas leaked into the crankcase as well. An interesting cousin to the Wankel is the more recent "Liquid Piston" design which in the shapes of the rotor and stator are reversed, ie, a two-lobed, rounded rotor and tri-lobed stator/combustion-chamber(s).

The 997cc version wasn't made until 1953 and in 1959 Ariel ended production of all their 4-stroke machines.

It was big and heavy but fast and smooth, with an unusual exhaust note and no vibration. Riding double it really settled down into a smoooooth and fast roadster!

Something else of interest that Honda learned from the Oval piston bike, and that's how to seal cylinders better. The amount of engineering they went through to make that wonderful abomination work meant that when they gave up and started building normal engines again the rings sealed that much better than they did before. Not a complete waste of time by any means. Their 4 strokes were second to none for a while.

The other has the engine in line withe the cylinders forwards and back, this gives a narrower bike. The radials used tend to be Rotax radials designed for aircraft.

If I recall correctly, most (all?) rotary radial engines are actually two stroke, so they would be able to fire every TDC. The radials that everyone thinks about are not rotary and have a fixed case, and four stroke and so they have to be odd numbers in each row so that skipping every other cylinder when firing means that in two full rotations, each cylinder still gets fired. So each *row* on a four stroke radial would have to be an odd cylinder count, but you will see even numbered counts when dealing with multiple row engines. (ie an R-3350 radial is an 18 cylinder with a pair of 9 cylinder rows).

Yeah he made a mistake in the video, that's a rotary which spins around the crank not a radial which stays stationary and turns the crank like a regular engine. As previously stated most radials are 4 stroke and have an odd number of cylinders per row/bank, and most rotaries were 2 stroke with an even number of cylinders.

@@OskarGibson It's still a radial engine, and given that the Wankel has functionally entirely taken the name rotary for itself, referring to them as rotary radials isn't a bad idea, and it's what RF9 does.

It is good to see a real Fortnite video again! I know no one has yet crammed one into a motorcycle, however I was really hoping that he would get into the swash plate /revolver cam engines. In my armchair engineering mindset they seem like the ultimate type of liquid cooled motorcycle engine. They only ever appeared in light aircraft, however from what I have seen the revolver cam engine was a perfect evolution of the internal combustion engine. Look em' up!
