Look at this new motor design

Pretty wild setup. Not sure how the seal will work, like the Wankel that was a failure. Not to mention the total rotational mass. Seems the NVH would be crazy.

Subbed for later viewing.

I wouldn't exactly call the Wankel a failure, either. It's a fantastically engineered device designed to turn apex seals into exhaust particles.
