Linked from

The 11 pages that link to Wankel engine, each with the reason it gives.

• CrankshaftCompared with: Its rotor eliminates the piston-and-crankshaft conversion used in conventional piston engines.

• Spark-ignition engineBroader topic: Its spark-ignition combustion occurs in moving chambers rather than piston cylinders.

• Connecting rodCompared with: Its rotor produces shaft rotation without the piston-and-connecting-rod linkage.

• Piston engineCompared with: It produces power without reciprocating pistons, avoiding their characteristic motion and components.

• Reciprocating engineCompared with: It performs intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust without reciprocating pistons.

• Alphonse Beau de RochasCompared with: Its rotary mechanism achieves engine cycles without the piston-stroke arrangement he described.

• Reuleaux triangleRelated: Its rotor resembles a Reuleaux triangle but has different geometry and does not have constant width.

• Barbier's theoremRelated: Its rotor uses a rounded triangular form related to constant-width geometry, though not itself a constant-width curve.

• Felix WankelBroader topic: The engine is the practical realization of Wankel’s central design.

• Petrol engineCompared with: It burns a petrol–air charge but replaces the conventional piston-and-crank mechanism.

• Pistonless rotary engineBroader topic: Its rotor directly forms moving combustion chambers and is the best-known pistonless engine design.
