Rotary Engines VS Turbines

Both of these engines combust fuel and a non-reciprocal motion occures. Both cases produces a circular motion. However both of these engines are quite different. What explains the differences in power output and efficiencies? They are different in the following ways: 1. The turbines are very efficient. Power stations use turbines but not the rotary engines.

apparently you missed the part about "full expansion" and don't understand why that was being pursued.

no, it's not "obvious" that it doesn't have one. especially when they're free and easily available from any other competent news client.

do you worry about accuracy when driving? i mean, it's only a few feet between you and an oncoming vehicle. what about accuracy from your bank when they're sending your monthly statement. would a few hundred dollars rounded down be ok?

no, it's "tech". car's wouldn't run without the science that goes into the "tech".

Virtually every engine used to provide forward motion converts energy into a rotary motion. So what?

The power output is usually defined by the the amount of energy that is transformed. A turbine functions well when the engine speed does not change much. A rotary and other piston type engines are designed to run at varying speeds and to change speeds relatively quickly.
