The thought required to comprehend these systems led us to truly understand the principles contained in the Wankel engine geometry which we will attempt to share. Most people believe that the rotor turns once for every three revolutions of the e shaft. When you are only considering the working surfaces of the rotor, this is true. FACT... The rotor is attached to the eccentric bearingwhich compells it to make equal revolutions. While it is doing so the gear ratio of the stationary gear and the rotor gear requires the rotor to turn two thirds of a revolution while in orbit around the e-shaft. (THIS PUTS THE ROTOR BACK 1/3 EACH SHAFT REVOLUTION)

Interesting, i knew that the rotor would make a revolution of 270deg. to spin the e-shaft 3x, but the thought that it would essentially move the rotor to an earlier position for each rpm never occured to me. This guy has got the life. Obviously he's got enough dough to buy all these machines, and spend his time trying to rediscover the rotary. Thats where i want to be someday. Exept I will attempt to build a "big block rotary" hehehe.
