Judy, the Wankel engine uses a rotor inside a chamber with a special geometry so that as the rotor turns, it compresses air and fuel between the rotor and the wall of the chamber.

One of the biggest problems was excessive wear at the seals where the rotor touches the wall of the chamber.

The write-ups on the OX2 mention pistons so it's not a Wankel.

Apparently the pistons are coupled to the output shaft of the engine in a novel fashion since the it's also stated that there is no crankshaft.
