0. A Rotary Engine does not have any pistons.

The rotary engine is an early type of combustion engine. There is no particular quantity of pistons to a rotary engine, but usually an odd number. The type of engine known as the Wankel engine and sometimes known as a rotary engine has no pistons, but has one rotor per combustion chamber.
