Wait just a minute, fellows. Don't we go through the same cycle that a four cycle does in two revolutions with only one third of a rotor turn, one ninth of an e shaft turn ? What does this do to all your calculations ? We have three power stokes for every rotor revolution where every piston only fires once for two cycle and only every other time for four cycle. Let's face it, those piston engines are just inherently too inefficient for any real comparison.

Doesn't make any difference at all. It still takes one revolution of
the rotors to complete an engine cycle. Same number of ignition and
intake events. It compares exactly like it does now. It just has a
different number of output shaft revolutions.
