Digitally Controlled Rotary Engine (DCRE)

To eliminate the issues of incomplete combustion, high fuel consumption, and high emissions inherent in the Wankel engine's elongated combustion chamber, this Digitally Controlled Rotary Engine (DCRE) introduces an external combustion chamber. By pairing it with air compression and expansion chambers that mimic Wankel geometry, it creates an entirely new hybrid engine design (see Fig.1, 2). Because compression, combustion,
