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 ?
 
No, ONE shaft turn.  You got reversed which is going faster...

What does this do to all your calculations ? We have
three power stokes for every rotor revolution
 
No, just one power stroke for every revolution of the e-shaft.  And the rotors are not so much rotating as they are orbiting (at shaft speed) with a 1/3 speed rotation in the OPPOSITE direction.
 
It is what is is really....
