The reason that the rotary engine does not produce significant torque is because it does not have con rods and a crankshaft. It has to do with the leverage the the conrods can produce. meaning that its strength is also its weakness. someone, please, correct me if I am wrong.

Hey FlipCarlo, I see you're likely a 25-year old Marine stationed at MCAS Miramar from your profile. Come over to the West forum, where we have numerous members from the San Diego area who can assist or hook up. Don't be racing on the base now

then think about what a conrod and crankshaft assembly is. the crank is just a bunch of levers used to rotate a central shaft. that is if you think about it in its most basic form. like i said if anyone has a better understanding of it please let me know. i am all about learning; especially when it is related to cars. but "wah?" doesn't really mean anything to me other than you don't understand where I am coming from.
