The Wankel engine uses an orbiting rotor shaped like an equilateral triangle with curved sides, instead of reciprocating pistons moving up and down in cylinders, making it structurally different from conventional piston-based engines. The Wankel engine is compact and lightweight, operates smoothly and quietly, and has low manufacturing costs because of its mechanical simplicity.
