I just sat here for a minute or two, u sing my hands as the rotor piston things, and I just, for the life of me, can't figure out how that would work, lol. Every time I'd try to get from B -> C, I'd end up back in A! AHH!

That's a roots supercharger.

If you can't figure out how it would work, you've got it right! Roots superchargers don't compress anything. They are just air pumps.

That's a roots supercharger, not very similar to a rotary at all. But you're on the right track, because the Wankel design was originally conceived as a supercharger. It looked a lot like a single rotor, with the pulley on what is now the E-shaft and the output to the motor is now the exhaust.

Oh, good. OK, that makes all the sense now!

better yet, the quasiturbine motor....

It uses photo-detonation as its combustion method.

..........wtf

ummm no it doesn't... they tried making it work for like 5 hours and nothing happened. The quasiturbine is a pipe dream, nothing but a bunch of fancy claims. It's all farts and no crap.

simplicity is key......about the 6 rotor, just mount a whole bunch of renny's all over your car like they do with those huge tractors for pulling with like 6 v8s
