it's a rotary, it makes a laughable amount of torque at all times, which is why they need to spin them to ridiculous RPM to get "impressive" HP numbers.
it could be used as a normal engine..... but it would require a non-"normal" transmission.... just have the engine idle at a fairly low RPM, then any kind of throttle would spin the engine up to a better point in the BSFC map and have a CVT trans keep the engine at that speed at all times.... but i imagine that would be quite an annoying vehicle to drive. but the same issue would be present as a "generator" engine.
