I'd love to have a good tangential solution. Mistral had developed one before they declared bankruptcy. = But, their engineer told me that they were loosing at least 5 HP with it. = So, if I am ignorant, I am happy to be corrected.

You could very well be right; but = am I willing to give up 5 hp for a reliable compact way to a quiet engine? = Yup!

Should be in the archives. If = not, I think I’ve scanned my drawings and have them stored somewhere. = You’ll need a good welder and some money. I think mine was $1950 for the = 3-rotor; and it has a few details like internal vanes. The drawings will cost only = $600 (ju-u-u-st kidding).
