Be fair. It's probably more efficient than Wankel engines too.


Ach. You beat me to the Wankel reference.

I do feel like we've seen this movie before. The problem with rotary engines, usually, is that their round shape and operation, though efficient, can make sealing difficult. So they can be plagued by emissions issues when it comes to the wear-and-tear of everyday use.

But it would be sweet if this engine licked all of that.
