Rusty, I looked this over. While it is novel there are a ton of problems with the layout. Lots of little trapped volumes, many pivots to lube, Lack of easy sealing methods. You don't realize how truly inovative the original rotary was until you see the ideas that fail the test of time. People in engineering are always looking for the simpler way to make the same thing happen. Felix Wankel was one of the rare guys that actually did it!
