Wankel Rotary Engine

thingiverse

This is a model of a Wankel internal combustion engine. To get it running, simply turn the knob in the back to rotate the freely-spinning rotor. I designed this model to be as easy to print as possible. Here are the parts that need gluing: 1) The spark plug - although you can skip it if you prefer. 2) The hex shaft at the output end. 3) The shaft collar, which secures the eccentric shaft and rotor in place. 4) The turning knob.
