here is an animated gif from www.der-wankelmotor.de it shows the original of
Wankel's idea on improving a turbin. Check it out, no reciprocating parts.
The spark plugs where in the internal rotating part.
I don't know if the gif animates in your email reader - you might have to
save it to your PC first and then look at it with a web browser.

Well, heck -- at least I got part of it right then. :-)

It does and thanks.  I need to digest this a bit though.  I guess I
need to go look at one of those fancy animated engine sites
somewhere.  It seems to me the crank journal angular travel must then
be 1/3 the angular travel of the shaft while the shaft side gear is
rigid with the shaft and tracking a rotor internal tooth gear. Hmm...
hurts my head.
