Margaret E. Knight was an ingenious woman. She started tinkering with things when she was still just a tiny child, and the first invention that really improved the lives of those around her came about at the age of 12.

Teil 2 der Folge mit Ingenieur Dankwart Eiermann. Er war lange Jahre der engste Mitarbeiter von Felix Wankel und spricht mit mir ausführlich über den Wankelmotor, über seine Vor- und Nachteile, über die Zusammenarbeit mit Felix Wankel und über den berühmten NSU Ro80.
It's October 1963, and the 10th Tokyo Motor Show is underway. Toyo Kogyo's Mazda brand has had some success, but to prove its worth as an independent business to the government, Toyo Kogyo President Tsuneji Matsuda has hedged the company's future on a new, pistonless engine technology that many considered to be a fantasy. But soon, that fantasy would become a reality. How did Tsuneji Matsuda take Mazda from a small truck manufacturer to a respected car-maker during one of the most competitive times in history? How did they take an engine technology no one believed in and use it to save the company? And how did Mazda create two brand-defining cars in barely more than a decade? We'll find out today on Past Gas, in part two of our four-part series on Mazda. Thanks to our sponsors: Explore 2024 with Lectric eBikes. The most accessible and adventurous eBikes ever.

Factory Mazda parts quality and their limits, knock/detonation in a rotary engine, lightened rotors, stud kits, clearancing plus ethanol fuel advantages are just a few of the topics discussed with Rob Dahm adding more and more specific details the deeper the discussion gets.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inRotary engine building traditionally has had 2 extremes, those building them poorly and blaming engine, and those building them well via experience they don't wish to share sometimes for understandable commercial reasons.Rob Dahm considers himself an entertainer, but through that role, he has helped share his journey into the world of rotary engine tuning and building with no filter on his successes or failures and insight into the work trailblazers like PAC Performance and similar have accomplished so far.At SEMA we had a chance to pick his brain about this journey, what he has learnt and now what advice he can give others keen to dive into this world too.

Our returning guest from S1 Olabode George Brown is joined by AMG Denz and this episode can be named as the North London Boys episode... 1 - How's everything been since we last caught up? How's life and the Design Engineering World keeping? 2 - For our new listeners you might not be aware that our special guest is a Design Engineer for a very esteemed F1 Team! You can find out which team that is by checking our S1 episode! Could you give us a recap of what your role entails? 3 - 2026 Engine Reg changes? How big are they? How far ahead of time do team generally start developing and prepping towards this? Do you anticipate one manufacturer might get a jump like Mercedes did at the beginning of the turbo hybrid era? 4 - George Russell has a Power Unit failure at the most recent race in Australia. Sources have put this down to debris getting into the engine and causing it malfunction catastrophically. What does the autopsy process for a failed engine generally look like? How easy is it for debris to get into these compact modern day packaging? What actually happens to the power unit in the end? Is it recycled, is it destroyed? Can it sometimes be repurposed for the car or for another chassis? 5 - In the world of GT Sports car racing there's a been a changing of the guard from naturally aspirated to turbocharged powered engines. The sporting body SRO implements a BOP, to level out the performance advantages of the cars. What is the benefit of running a naturally aspirated unit to a turbo charged one? How does altitude also effect how a power unit will perform/produce power 6 - Kyalami Update - How excited would you be to see the sport return to South Africa? What are the biggest challenges automotive engineers face when building engines for unique circuits like this? 7 - What is the best sounding sports/race car engine - a) Ferrari F1 04 V10, b) Mazda 787b Rotary Engine, c) Dodge Hellcat V8 d) Wildcar choice of your own? 8 - FIA dream Engine Spec Formula - Describe to the listeners, what type of engine you'd want to bring into F1 and what advanatages would this have over the current Turbo Hybrid V6 units we currently have?

So this week, we wondered what might be the opposite of a swan, of a nipple, and of a Wankel rotary engine (no giggling at the back). You’ll have to tune in and listen to find out what a Wankel rotary engine is, and indeed, what it’s opposite might be. Are we right? Or are we the opposite of right? Let us know, and join in the fun, because joining in is always fun.

A boom in the Brazilian market has one automotive manufacturer introducing seven new models. Has the U.S. auto industry fully recovered? A report from WardsAuto indicates it may have. Reading between the lines has us thinking we may see the first zinc-air battery soon. All that and more, plus an independent car tech believes he has solved the draw-backs of the rotary engine.
The stock market is hurting big time but for the automakers times have been great in 2011, worldwide sales in the first half hit 39 million units even despite the disaster in Japan. Lincoln looks like it's just about to break through, and with new designs from Ford's luxury division, styling will play a big part. The world's cheapest car, the Tata Nano, is sliding, rather plummeting, in sales. To the tune of 50 percent! Putting a dent the company's profits. All that and more, plus Ford's head of vehicle electrification, Nancy Gioia shares a lesson that helped her career at Ford!
