John;
The type of aero engine you describe is called a "rotary" as opposed to a
"radial".

no I did understand that it was a real question, and did say "tongue in
cheek". I was not slighting your question in the least, your question is
"good real world and honest". another engine/ring movement question on the
same serious lines as your question, (kind of a stretch though) would be a
rotating radial aircraft engine, where the crank is stationary, and the
block rotates....I don't know the answers, so the questions are asked...
