Gyroscopic effect: “Am I just a joke to you?”
like the dreams of a working rotary engine? Many companies have tried, but it keeps killing companies and it still is an impossible goal.
Rotarys are 2-strokes are kneecapped by emissions standards/laws, not because they don’t work.

If that’s the case where are they? Other than being used in israeli suicide drones.

You’re mixing up “miracle tech that leads to nowhere” with “niche tech with little mass appeal”. A rotary engine car has won Le Mans, The Mazda 787. I’m pretty sure one of the recent Mazda plug in Hybrids (I refuse to call those EV-s) has a rotary engine as a backup for the electric engine.
