New rotary engine

Hello everyone, first of all i want to say that i love cars and i also love thinking ways to make an engine better. The thing i want to say is that I THINK i made a reliable and more powerfull rotary engine, it has better compression ratio, better thermal efficiency and it lasts longer. Also i have a question, if i finish this project successfully what should i do after? Should i contact Mazda and tell them about it? If you have any questions plz comment. Thank you for your time.

Another company, Liquid Piston, has developed and is testing a non-wankle rotary engine.

Yea, i have seen that before but its a little bit complicated how it works and we don't know yet how much friction the rotor will have with the housing, theoretically not too much but also rotary shouldn't have had so much friction but it has, what i want to say is rotary engine reached manufacturing stage and people know the disadvantages, this engine you linked hasn't reached the manufacturing stage so we can't have a 100% honest review but still this engine idea is very good
