Rotary (Wankel) Engine Cycle Schematic - 6-Stage Rotor Position Diagram
Diagram of six round components with crosshairs and position numbers 1 through 18, an orientation reference schematic.
This document is a schematic showing the operating cycle of a rotary (Wankel-type) engine. Six cross-sectional diagrams, arranged in two rows of three, depict a triangular rotor inside an epitrochoidal housing at successive positions of rotation. Each diagram shows two spark plugs mounted on the right side of the housing, port passages on the left, and a hatched/shaded region marking one working chamber as it progresses through the intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust phases. Circled numeric callouts 1 through 18 are distributed across the six frames (three per frame), evidently labeling rotor faces or chamber phases at each cycle position, but the scan contains no legend or key defining what the numbers mean. There is no other text: no captions, part numbers, torque values, model or year identification anywhere in the image. A reader can learn the general geometry and phase sequence of a rotary engine's combustion cycle from the drawings, but cannot identify a specific vehicle, engine model, or year from this document alone. The scan is a white-line-on-black reproduction with adequate diagram clarity but no textual content beyond the numbered callouts.

Frequently asked questions
- What does this diagram show?
- It shows six cross-sectional views of a rotary (Wankel-type) engine, with a triangular rotor inside its housing at six successive positions of the operating cycle.
- How many spark plugs are shown in each diagram?
- Each of the six diagrams shows two spark plugs mounted on the right side of the engine housing.
- Are the callout numbers explained in the document?
- No. Circled numbers 1 through 18 appear across the six diagrams (three per frame), but the scan includes no legend or key defining them.
- Does the document identify a specific vehicle, engine model, or year?
- No. There are no captions, part numbers, model names, or dates visible anywhere in the scan.
