Here's one, buy a kit. There's no sense in re-inventing the wheel. There's a few places that sell kits. Kiwi-RE and Hurley do so I believe.

Rotary Engine by Kenichi Yamamoto will help with basic rotary engine design:

This document should help with 4-rotor specific issues.

Been there, done that. Although mine isn't a true 4 rotor (no centre bearings, no multiple peice E-shaft, etc), it was good enough to impress the class. Trust me, a 4 rotor sounds like a good idea until you spend 8 hours on a Mitutoyo CMM and then another 14 hours on top of that, and you've only done the end plates. It's a lot of work. PM me if you need any pointers.

This was done in Autodesk Inventor 10. I hate inventor and I wish I used CATIA instead.

I don't know!!! I was talking to him about it but he didn't seem interested. He's really busy with other stuff.

Well tell him to give me the parts needed to do it and I'll build it. I have everything else...
