have you read the book "rotary engne" by kenichi yamamoto? a quick google search finds it. its got all the calculations, PLUS it explains WHY they picked the dimensions they did
The book really could have been a pamphlet with a big appendix. There's not a lot to understand once you get the basic geometry down. Plus that book has some of the most dull, dry writing I've ever been subjected to, so getting much out of it was a struggle.

i kinda skipped the part about dimensions, i'm not going to make my own, but the rest of the stuff is money, technically speaking
