Give it up Vance! You are out numbered :-). Nobody is going
to rate the 13B at 3.9 liters. As Paul Yaw says, a normally
aspirated 1.3 liter 13B Mazda rotary puts out about the same
amount of power as a 2.6 liter four stroke or 1.3 liter two stroke
piston engine at about the same RPM  both suitable tweeked.

I guess you are right Paul, I will have to give it
up - the Rotary has become a recognized religion
and the Emperor indeed has a fine set of clothes.
I did notice that you ignored the Dynacam for more than
a moment since it exactly fits your interpretation
of an out put shaft connected to the working elements - Vance

Thanks Vance.
Now we can get back to the mundane, everyday problems of
getting the rotary to work in airplanes :-)
