the discussion about the hercules was that the reed valve inlet and odd exhaust positioning was a rotary. I I get that its not like the other one pictured, I would love more info on it. if thE chamber was 90deg putting it inline? and finned without that huge air intake.

That is a Wankel, and very interesting, I wonder how they've geared the rotor to the clutch.
