    Hello all,

    I am currently studying engineering in first year of college and have to do an assignment on the Wankel Rotary Engine. My task is to write about the health and safety aspect. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how i should get started, even on a general basis.

    Thanks

    Check out literature. How stuff works (.com) is a good general starting point but check out industry sources (Mazda run Wankel engines), books etc. Don't forget to reference your information!

    Look up the historical recalls on car models that had them. Wiki probably has those, honestjohn.co.uk does too.

    Figure out what could have hurt people in the failure modes that prompted the recalls?

    Probably not the best idea to directly reference wikipedia, you are as well use it to find articles and journals to research and reference properly

    Google Scholar is good for finding papers etc., though some may only be downloadable if you have a computer account at a college.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Wikipedia often has sources. I use it asa starting point and it will usually show you the source.

    Don't forget the NSU RO80 of the 70's, they had the rotary engine.
