Similar fashion to rotary of being outside the box just like everything getting people and oem to buy into the hype is a different story

Seems like it would be a slow revving engine, both up and down the RPM range. That looks to be at least as much rotating mass as a traditional inline 5 or v6, if not more. It looks likely that the overall mass might be down and the package may be more compact, but I'm not sold on the idea. What seals the top of each cylinder as it rotates around that spark plug exhaust/intake portal thingy? Seems like a high wear item, similar to apex seals on a rotary.
