That's pretty neat. Would like to see one run. I bet the seals would require some form of oil injection for the compressor rotor
Wankle engines are great on paper, but garbage in the real world. Horrible gas mileage and oil consumption issues.
The dual rotors was a cool idea though.

This is what it looks like... Looking for a video of it.

There Is(was???) a cool book in my local library, 600 pages on the development of the wankel, including this one.
Although as an engineer, I like it...as an engineer' the volume to seal length ratio of the wankel is amazingly hopeless.
Felix specialised in seals, not engines, and he knew that this was a shortcoming.
