If pro is the opposite of con, is progress the opposite of congress?
depends on your compressed gas engineWhat rotates in a solid rocket or compressed gas engine?
The rotary engine was air-cooled which gave it a huge advantage in power-to-weight.I all sense of the word all engines with a rotating element that transmits torque from combustion of a fuel, is a rotary engine. So if lets say we use a horizontal opposed engine and ground or mount the crankshaft stationary then according to rotary engine nomenclature we have a rotary engine, with no identity of the cylinder arrangement?
All engines are "rotary" in the general sense that they all make something rotate. A Wankel was termed a Rotary to differentiate it from the reciprocating piston engine and the aircraft rotary due to the rotating cylinders/stationary crankshaft as opposed to the radial's stationary cylinders/spinning crankshaft.
Methinketh that you make way too much out of English terminology which confounds, at time, even native speakers, i.e.:
Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?
Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?
Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?
Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo?
Why is it called a TV "set" when you only get one?
Why does your nose run and your feet smell?
If pro is the opposite of con, is progress the opposite of congress?
Why does "cleave" mean both split apart and stick together?
Why is it, whether you sit up or sit down, the result is the same?
Why call it a building if it's already been built?
If corn oil comes from corn, where does baby oil come from?
Why do girls wear a pair of panties and but only one bra?
If ATM stands for Automatic Teller Machine, why do we call it an ATM machine? And if PIN stands for Personal Identification Number, why do we call it a PIN number?

Because everybody rushed out to the parking lot so they could sit in their cars and listen to the traffic report on the radio while the car was not moving?Why do they call it rush hour when nobody is moving?
If you read what I said you can't include them, if they have no rotating element.What rotates in a solid rocket or compressed gas engine?
If you read what he said "What rotates in a solid rocket or compressed gas engine?", he's implying that your implications that all engines are "radials" is actually false, as you yourself noted that "they have no rotating element".If you read what I said you can't include them, if they have no rotating element.
The "Rotary" engine of old. Its really a Radial engine, but with a stationary crankshaft.
I all sense of the word all engines with a rotating element that transmits torque from combustion of a fuel, is a rotary engine. So if lets say we use a horizontal opposed engine and ground or mount the crankshaft stationary then according to rotary engine nomenclature we have a rotary engine, with no identity of the cylinder arrangement ? Funny how on any other reciprocating engine the cylinder arrangement is what names the type of engine it is. V-8, Inline 6, V6, Opposed 6, we can all identify. If we say its a rotary engine, first to mind for most all people unacquainted with the goofy funky spinning crankcase radial engine will of course think Wankel engine. The name rotary just does not define the engine design or type.
Whose reciprocating action is converted to the rotary motion of the drive wheels.comprised of a butterfly valve and a piston...
Solid rocket - essentially nothing Compressed gas engine - is no different from a steam engine wherein compressed gas moves a piston in reciprocating motion to make something rotate...or the compressed gas stream can impinge directly upon fan blades to again produce rotary motion. If you look at the pic above the rotating element is pictured...the propellerWhat rotates in a solid rocket or compressed gas engine?
I guess it's the smoke there in redding. Any way "rotating element" is any stinking thing that rotates. It can be a shaft, yeah like a CRANK shaft etc.If you read what he said "What rotates in a solid rocket or compressed gas engine?", he's implying that your implications that all engines are "radials" is actually false, as you yourself noted that "they have no rotating element".
I could also include the Steam Engine to VB's list, as it is essentially comprised of a butterfly valve and a piston...

All engines are rotary engines as well as all electric motors are rotary motors. BECAUSE SOMETHING ON THEM OR rather STICKING OUT OF THEM ROOOOOTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTEEEESSSS. <----- ROTATES................
So simple stuff here read it slowly, any engine that has its power out put rotating is a rotary engine. Steam engine? Now think carefully does it have something ROTATING that puts out the power and or torque? Rotating <<<<<< >>>>>>>>Rotary, see do you see it? This isn't brain surgery or rocket science.
Read it slowly, champ and if you need, we'll draw you a picture.All engines are rotary engines as well as all electric motors are rotary motors.
