That's not considered a rotary engine is it?

Seriously, somone must have had a really good acid trip to come up with that.
Heh, it is "different" 😉
It also gets some awesome horsepower in a small space.
Mazda knows this.
And I heard it was put into a number of cars during the 50's and 60's. (The experimental years of automobiles.)

They also are known to love to drink oil

Small price to pay. 😉 I'd love to get my hands on a 2nd-gen turbo ... fire engine red.

It's also terribly inefficient in terms of power produced per unit of fuel consumed and it's deficient in terms of torque.

They're a novel idea and they're good in situations where RPM is more important (like on a road course or other track) but aside from the design novelty, the only real advantage they have is small physical size in everyday applications.

Thats the same kind of engine WWII fighers and bomber planes used. The design has been around for some time now.
