I guess the "inside out" is that the rotary block is also the fuel injector? Would have to read more to figure out how they get fuel into a thing moving at thou

I guess the "inside out" is that the rotary block is also the fuel injector? Would have to read more to figure out how they get fuel into a thing moving at thousands of rpm.

We do this all the time with cylinders, no? I don't see how this is any different.

  They were, I think, imagining placing the fuel injector on the moving part itself (eg the piston) which doesn't makes much sense to do, taking the inside out bit to the extreme.

    To the dead comment, no, the injector is not on the moving part, it's attached to the housing, clearly seen at 2:27 in their video.

    Naw, im just dumb and imprecise. Need to rewatch and maybe reunderstand.

That is unlikely, it's probably in the housing, just like a wankel.

A traditional Wankel engine has a rotary block in the shape of a reuleaux triangle moving in a more cylindrical stationary chamber. The "inside out" refers to how this engine is a more cylindrical rotary block moving inside a stationary reuleaux triangle chamber.
