Multi-tasking! The popular engines out there gracing our civics and accords have 4 distinct and separate phases:
- fuel intake
- compression of fuel and air
- igniting the mixture (via spark plugs) to create power and motion
- pushing out the exhaust gases from the engine
The rotary engine follows the exact same steps above. The difference? It carries out three of the above steps at the same time which results in much smoother delivery. The delivery and reliability for the engine is much much smoother than that of a conventional car engine. Yes conventional car engines suck. The drawback of the rotary engine is that they have high emissions and its hard to get them by the EPA. But then thats what this story is about... using hydrogen as a fuel! So yes this is quite something to be excited about. Not an ordinary slow news day folks!
