Abstract
At the ‘spherical Wankel engine’ the common path t of the three vertices of the rotor is a trochoid. It can be generated when the circle m which is attached to the rotor, is rolling along the fixed circle o. The angular velocities of the rotor’s rotations about M and additionally about the fixed center O build the constant ratio −3 ∶ 2.
