So, How Does It Work?
Wankel Rotary Combustion Engine (RCE)
Theory, Design, and Principles of Operation
Internal combustion engine: fuel air mixture ignites and the explosion directly drives the engine internally.
Four phase Cycle engine: intake, compression, power, exhaust.
Three main moving parts in most RC engines: 2 rotors and the eccentric shaft. These rotate continuously in a single direction. They do not jerk backwards and forwards.
These are surrounded by the peripheral housing where the

Sensaud de Lavaud obtained a patent for a four phase rotary piston engine in 1938, two years after Felix Wankel. There were also designs by Pappenheim, Hornblower, Murdoch, Bramah, Flint, Poole, Wright, Marriott, Trotter, Galloway, Parsons, Roots, Wallinder, Skoog, Baylin, Larsen, Ljungström, Behrens, Maillard, and Jernaes. Marsh has made a good summary with diagrams.
Wankel engines use cycloidal gearing, an old and unusual form of gearing used in watches, Roots blowers,
screw compressors, and pumps.
