www.howstuffworks.com has a great technical explanation of the rotary engine. there are several out there, but i love this one. It is very complete with animations, etc.

93rexseven,
If I were you save your money... buy a 1st gen Rx7. Then if you can deal with that and you like it. Then look at the 3rd gens. Plus having a first gen if you wreck it then you'll only be messing up a 3k car. Not a 9k, plus you'll respect the boundries of the 3rd gens' suspension alot more. And last but not least. Having a N/A 12a or 13b you'll see how far you can push a rotary before it breaks. They are worth it but its not for everyone.
