Was an Obturator ring a kind of piston ring? Biscuittin (talk) 20:05, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If the bicycle pump analogy is correct, the Obturator rings would compensate for the warping of the cylinders but not prevent it. I have amended the article accordingly. Biscuittin (talk) 20:20, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Expanded from stub. August 2024.

Text added. Types of Rotary engines that did and didn't use obturator rings is also given. Picture added.Stivushka (talk) 14:11, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
