Hi Paul,

   Maybe in a few words I can clarify the gear concept. You've said this in
   different words before so if I'm too far offbase please edit.

   The gears inside the rotary are a means of  "timing"  the position of
   the rotor. Very much akin to the way   "timing"  gears ( or chains or
   cog belts )  "Time"  the position of the CAMshaft in an auto
   engine.  *** POWER is not transmitted in either case, only the exact
   POSITION is determined.***  This  "timing"  is necessary to put the
   piston engine valves in the proper place at the proper time, in the
   rotary this  "timing"  is necessary to put the rotor in the proper
   place
   at the proper time.

   Concept any clearer or did I muddy the waters even more.
   Dave

   Excellent. Much better than I could have put it. Very concise.

   Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

Yes..  That is very good.  Can I help with the language?

The gears inside the rotary are a means of  "timing"  the position and
orientation of the rotor.  This is very much akin to the way
"timing"  gears ( or chains or cog belts )  "time"  the position of the
CAMshaft in a piston engine.  *** POWER is not transmitted in either
case, only the exact POSITION is determined.***  This  "timing"  is
necessary to put the piston engine valves in the proper place at the
proper time.  In the rotary this "timing" is necessary to put the rotor
in the proper place and orientation at the proper time.
