Very interesting... Although it's very different from a regular rotary engine. I doubt much would come from this.

also found this today, didnt read through all of it. Im not an engineer so i dont know if it would work or not, but they want to add a third rotor 1/3 the size to increase fuel efficiency under cruising speeds.
