Well, at the description is at least half marketing (translation = completely wrong bull*****). But the rest looks interesting.

Using same manufacturing specs this engine probably has materially more friction than a conventional design. It's main advantage appears to be higher compression than a conventional Wankel. No mention of whether it maintains the Wankel's reputation of self-destructing far earlier than conventional designs.

Hardly a "disruptive" technology change. At least they appear to be marketing to an appropriate market - military useage where weight/power ratios are critical but they need higher efficient and longevity is not an issue.
