^ that's the 606 twin rotor snowmobile engine. They banned it from being produced because it got so hot the plastic "hood" engine cover would melt... DURING WINTER RACES! hahah.

^page 10 & 11 of the PDF- In some Mercedes models, the seat belt retractors are wankel's that spin by a compressed air charge.

I was at a jet ski shop who machine their own high performance engines from billet, and they run a water to water heat exchanger that sits in the jet stream of the propulsion jet. This way they could just run coolant and never worry about flushing the engine after a ride or race. That's how I'd go about doing the cooling part atleast

Well landon go the wheels in motion. Im building a CRG shifter kart with a sachs 303 im going to smooth out the ports and maybe turbo it with a small turbo later. By the looks of the video it will be as fast or faster than it was when i had a rotax 125 engine on it.
