Both the Sherman tank and the Comet tank killer of WW2 had rotary engines.

Correct! The old M3 Stuarts, Grants and Lees all had rotary engines as did the M7 Priest. The later Shermans used Chrysler 5 bank gasoline engines with 30 cylinders. Probably why the Brits referred to them as Zippos. There was a later M6 series that used a Wright G-200 radial engine but it was short lived.

This one the crank stays still, the motor rotates...........
Frist one I've seen and seen run.

I thought it neat that he said the inspiration came from a motorcycle that had the engine in the rear wheel so it also served as a flywheel. I had to look it up. It was a Millett.
