The internal housing shape is like a vane style hydraulic pump.
These pumps
have a tendency to develop chatter marks on the internal housing. The
engine would have to run at a higher RPM with heavier vanes than a
hydraulic pumps parts. I believe the engine will develop chatter
marks
quickly, requiring frequent overhauls with a need to replace the
housings
every time at a high cost to the owner. Re read Kenichi's
practical  rotary
engine requirements. It does make a rotating motion as (1)
describes but
the heavy vanes ruins the practicality.

Hi!: the inventor doesn't report any chattered marks, and says having beenusing his
motorcycle with the engine for near 60'000 miles.SAE paper 630282 by F Sisto 'Comparison
of some rotary piston engines',includes the vane-pump style RCe in his list, I understand
that as the videos are in French language it may be a problem for you, but probably
somebody from the French speaking regions of Canada may help you.
