What engine is this.

As I recall it was 75 HP. It was built by Wankel GmbH of Germany.
Pats also builds a APU with a pre chamber based on the Norton
motorcycle engine.

I think it was 300 cc per rotor and it ran up to 6000 RPM.

The little one with pre chamber was roughly 25 HP or so. 
It drove a 10KW alternator. APU is Auxiliary Power Unit for use
in business jets.
