Wankel Engines don't have pistons. They have rotors instead. The rotor is vaguely triangular, and turns in a cleverly shaped, oval chamber. The combustion volume is formed by the space enclosed between two of the tips of the rotor and the walls of the chamber.
But just like piston Engines can have different numbers of pistons, wankel Engines can have different numbers of rotors.
