For the most part rotary engines work very good.

Actually please define more, are you talking about the Wankel rotary, or the radial rotary piston engine?

rotary, radial and gas turbines are 3 completely different engines, i'd suggest howstuffworks.com again, as the pictures they provide are the best way to learn it.

Well there are two types of radial engines, a plain fixed radial, and a rotary radial, in which the entire engine rotates around the crankshaft. Some people get confused by the engine term "rotary" so I prefer to use the name "wankel" when refering to the rotary engines that Mazda and NSU made.
