Here is a double HP version.
Two power pulses per rev.

=====================================
It may not be a true rotary but with a few changes it could be a pretty
good engine. The fundamental idea is not that bad. Breathing is
excellent.
Here is an improvement. See the attached 3D's. Easier to seal the
conventional pistons with off the shelf piston rings and the combustion
chamber is a much much better shape. The original square chamber is not
good.
In effect it is four- one cylinder engines - rotating around a
stationary center gear.
Only one engine shown in the 3D. The cylinder block also rotates
needless to say.
Sort of a Mickey Mouse contraption compared to the elegance of
the Wankel :)
Sealing everything is going to be a night mare due to radical temperature
changes around the engine.
The Achilles heal is the unbalanced crank pin and the gears. More so on
the square chamber version.
I have a hanger at Santa Paula with a Mazda Wankel powered airplane.

The Gotek engine is not a true rotary engine. It is a four flapper
reciprocating engine. The flappers called "pivoting rockers" that
move up and down inside the housing as they rotate. There are four
small crankshafts and four small connecting rods. See the attach
page of th patent.
As such there is nothing about it to make it more efficient.
BTW I have owned or (now own an RX8) seven Mazda rotary powered
cars, some with over 300,000 miles, since 1973 and have had no
problems of any kind with the seals or the wear on the seals.
