You are the one who needs to read.
Rotary Engine Power

Rotary engines use the four-stroke combustion cycle, which is the same cycle that four-stroke piston engines use. But in a rotary engine, this is accomplished in a completely different way.


The heart of a rotary engine is the rotor. This is roughly the equivalent of the pistons in a piston engine. The rotor is mounted on a large circular lobe on the output shaft. This lobe is offset from the centerline of the shaft and acts like the crank handle on a winch, giving the rotor the leverage it needs to turn the output shaft. As the rotor orbits inside the housing, it pushes the lobe around in tight circles, turning three times for every one revolution of the rotor.

If you watch carefully, you'll see the offset lobe on the output shaft spinning three times for every complete revolution of the rotor.

now this is too much work read this cuz im not about to type a whole explenation,
so go **** yourself cuz im out.. and look closely those are called strokes!!
