Mazda Renesis Rotary Engine

The rotary engine was conceived by Felix Wankel in Germany in 1926 with the first functional prototype not actually running until 1957 - this was largely due to the Second World War and the fragmented post-war Germany.

Mazda's Renesis rotary engine can be seen here with the basic stages of rotation illustrated.
