Saw this @ Swap Wheels - LiquidPiston's Hyper-Efficient Engine: Turning the Rotary Inside Out
however here is the direct popular mechanics link being referenced.

LiquidPiston has created a rotary engine that provides approximately five times the power-by-weight of a standard motor at almost double the fuel efficiency. It's a good tool for fuel efficiency. Though, there are some things that need to consider.

The rotary engine is awesome in ways, as it produces far more power per pound of motor than any type of internal combustion engine. However, it also guzzles gasoline, oil and creates a lot of emissions. LiquidPiston might have cracked the puzzle as to how to clean up emissions and get better fuel economy out of a rotary, though.

By making it a rotary "Hemi"....
How much boost can we give it, before it goes boom?

LiquidPiston Explains Ultra-Efficient X2 Rotary Engine - autoevolution
I really wish one of Mazda's corp technicians can have a detail look in this engine design. MAke them as engine partner, stop the wasteful R&D already (since this is already out).
Then, Mazda need to scale this engine up as much as they can (yet remaining efficient) to get that 400bhp. Since it's producing 40bhp right now, just multiple every variable with x10 times? lol..

wow interesting paper... curious if the engine can maintain complete combustion under higher RPM?
also he mentions injecting water or oil for lubrication purposes... still another tank of something that the average consumer wouldn't want to worry about =\
