Mazda tested it over 20 years ago in their R16.
its been done since in New Zealand and theUK. Even tried 6 rotor!

Why reinvent it all over again.

Now if you tried an 8 rotor that would be impressive.

Forgive me, please, but what does the "E" in e-shaft mean, Engine?

Eccentric Shaft

It's the main shaft for the engine.
