This is another twist on a compact rotary engine design:

LiquidPiston unveils quiet X Mini engine prototype

LiquidPiston X Mini 70 cc Gasoline Engine Early Prototype Demo on Vimeo

How It Works | LiquidPiston

The rotor is the valves and the combustion chamber all in one. It is a 4 stroke engine, but there are three combustion events per revolution of the rotor.

They have tested it at 3HP on the dynamometer For a 70cc engine.

An air cooled version and a water cooled version.

I think it would make a fabulous genset for a serial hybrid.
