    ...there is another shape which has the same properties as a circle (the set of all points equidistant from a fixed point) that has been used in internal combustion engines.

    I believe you're referring to a rotary engine. Mazda experimented with them a number of years ago, but I don't believe anyone is using them anymore. I don't recall the name of the actual shape though.

    Reuleaux triangle. *whew* I knew I would remember it some day. You are correct, though--I don't think anyone uses a Wankel engine at this time. Check the Curve of Constant Width page via Wolfram's MathWorld site.

    This is the most off-topic I have ever been.

    Should one expect any less from a Sorcerer of Math?

    The last thing we want to do is start talking about trigonometry here. Why? Well, 'cos that's a sine that we're going on a tangent. Let's keep this thread on topic.
