I see that another displacement round was held while I was unfairly being
held captive in the hospital - so I will make a short rejoinder.

Displacement is not always related to output shaft rotation - ie all
the cam  engines out there. I am sure you have no trouble computing
their true displacement.

Both German and Japanese developers were heavily motivated by tax laws to
exploit the potential confusion.

Each rotor is carrying three "charges" each representing about 600cc of
swept volume each in various parts of the four stroke cycle - just like any other 3
"cylinder". four stroke engine.

German and Japanese developers saved millions in tax dollars by claiming the
smaller
displacement - I wonder what the numbers would have been if the Wankel had
been developed by US manufacturers where displacement is a good thing?

That is not the reason. The displacement is what it is.
From near the end of the last discussion on this subject and from
now on I will let R.F.Ansdale do all the talking for me on this
subject.  You will have to tear him apart piece by piece to prove
it to me. Furthermore Ansdale's excellent detailed and rigorous analysis
was sufficient to silence all of your former disciples :)
