that engine is not better its just different. just cause its a rotary dosnt make it any better than a normal piston engine. and anyways oly mazda has those, the best cars in the would donsnt use rotary. and i heard that rotary has high rpm but ends up wearing out really fast because once that triangle stuff wears out theres a leak between the "cylinder" part thingy. unlike piston engines where if the cylinder wears out there are still multi layers of piston rings sealing out the cylinder.

If the Rotary doesn't power a car, maybe it can power.... a cellphone?

Has there been a single reliable rotary engine made? I knew the RX7 engines had to have the seals replaced every 30,000 miles or so and I don't know if the RX8 is much better.
