Hi Dave,

OK, one revolution of the e-shaft is 1/3 revolution of the rotors. So
each rotor has had one intake event.  Each face has a calculated
displacement of about 650 cc.  Two X 650 cc = 1.3L.  If you can explain
why it's 2.6L, maybe I can send Paul an apology.  Or are you just
trying to get my goat? :)

I'm not trying to create a big discussion on the displacement of the
rotary, I just want to understand where that 2.6L per revolution number
is comming from.  I haven't been able to see it.  I think Paul gets it
from comparing to a piston engine, and I agree that the 13B compares
closest to a 2.6L 4 cycle 4 cylinder engine.
