Rotary Diesel??

has this ever been done? I think a few poeple tried when rotaries first gained interest. Can it be done with todays technology ?

Diesels by design cant burn the fuel fast enough to rev very high in a piston motor, at least - but a rotor spins once for each 3 spins of the e-shaft. So, that might help in some ways, being 1/3rd the speed of the output shaft. do you think that this could aid in a high compression diesel rotary engine?
