In standard auto engines, for example, the reciprocating actions of cylindrical pistons successively suck in a mixture of gasoline and air, compress it, turn a crankshaft after an electric spark touches off the explosive vapors, then expel the burned fuel residues. In rotary engines like the Wankel, the same effect is achieved not by reciprocating pistons but by a turning rotor. As it revolves inside a specially shaped chamber, the rotor is able to perform all the basic strokes of a piston engine: induction, compression, ignition...
