A Means of Inducing Variable Swirl and Increased Engine Efficiency in the Stratified Charge Wankel Engine

Abstract

The paper proposes two engine modifications that the author believes will yield better performance. They combine variable swirl rates, exhaust-gas- recirculation, and more advantages of both the beetle and the deep pocket rotors than the author expects from the Curtiss-Wright combination. One is a new intake system; the other is a new rotor pocket design.
