both are internal combustion engines. normal engines use pistons, rotaries use rotors. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/rotary-engine.htm

rotaries run on pixie dust and magic. Piston motors don't run, they walk at a slow paceSeriously though, don't try to "compair" rotaries and piston motors in terms of how they work. Everything from the flywheel back may be the same, but in front of the flywheel, if you're trying to think in terms of how conventional motors work, you're just going to get more confused.
That said, rotaries use two triangles that spin clockwise in an elongated oval, creating the 4 "strokes" of a piston motor. intake, compression, compustion and exhaust.
