Fundamental hardware differences between a 4-stroke piston and a Wankel rotary

The Rotor replaces the piston engine's piston.
The Eccentric Shaft replaces the piston engine's crankshaft and connecting rods.
The Rotor Housing replaces the piston engine's cylinder.
Intake and Exhaust Ports in the housings replace valves, camshafts, rocker arms, springs, lifter rods, and timing belts.

Ground Applications
The Wankel rotary engine principle Rotapower engine is a perfect alternative to nearly all 2-stroke engine applications and many of the high power-to-weight applications using conventional 4-stroke piston engines today.
