Development of rotary engine technologies in the interests of improving the performance characteristics of vehicles
Abstract
The article is devoted to a review of engine design problems related to the limitation of harmful emissions from vehicles, and to a statement of the need to apply innovative approaches to the improvement of internal combustion engines. The main advantages of the rotary-vane engine are considered and the design solutions for the construction of a promising model of this type are described. Facts confirming the novelty of the approach are presented, as well as the results of research demonstrating the high probability of achieving high performance indicators of the innovative design of a new rotary-vane engine.
