What are rotary engines?

An engine designed by Felix Wankel and idea bought/funded by Mazda to use in vehicles. Normally was to be used in aircrafts due to its lightweight and great power to weight ratios. These engines are very different from piston, creating the combustion process all in one chamber. Rotary engines are known to be lemons because if you are not a car enthusiast, then you don't know much about how to take care of a rotary engine car. I am not saying it is unreliable but it is unforgiving to abuse and mistreatment than other cars. If you take care of your car very well, then you can own a rotary, along with the right knowledge.

Function of tachometer?

A tachometer is a gauge that measures mechanical rotation, and typically reads out in "RPM" or revolutions per minute. Such a gauge can be used anywhere where a measurement of speed of rotation is needed, but the most common use is to measure how many times in a minute the crankshaft of your car's engine turns, which would indicate to the car's driver how hard the car's engine is working at any given moment.

What is the significance of the readings from a handheld tachometer?

Well, a Tachometer in general tells you the RPM of a motor or other such engine. As for something handheld, from what I have seen they would mostly be employeed to engines that are not mounted into a car already as a means of testing their capacity or after some series of tests that can better determine condition or wear or such. Most cars have them mounted into their dashboards to my understanding, to give a reading while on the go.
