This is nothing like a wankel or a diesel both of those use mechanical compression. This seems to be built on using Centrifugal force for compression.
Yes it is a turbine variant but a significant one as the combustion actually takes place in the turbine. Standard turbines exist outside of the combustion either compressing the air before or driven by the exhaust gases after. This makes it about the simplest engine you can imagine.
