It's a .30 cu in rotary engine built in 74. This engine was designed for use
on radio controlled model aircraft. They run on glo fuel (used in model
aircraft) specifically designed for these engines and will spin a 9" prop at
several thousand RPMs.

This is a true rotary engine. In a two-lobe trochoid (that is an figure 8
shaped housing) a three-lobe rotor moves on a circular path, rotating about
its own centre at the same time".

The dimensions are:
Displacement .30 cu. in.
Weight 110 oz.
Diameter 2 3/4"
Length 2 3/8

Here's a pic of it.
