How specifically does an RX-7 work

Ok I am EXTREMELY fond of how a normal engine works. But for rotart some thing kinda confuse me. So my question to you guys is if you know any links to explain exactly how an rx-7 works. Not just a summary. But a COMPLETE explanation or something close to it. Thanks

sersioly though it will take you a max of 15mins to have a pretty good knowledge of how a rotary works, and as most people know here just about anyone can do a rotary rebuild without getting into trouble
