Wankel
Split single
Napier Culverin, Napier Deltic and Napier Sabre

Empty, from this very forum once wasted about 20 minutes trying to get me to understand a Napier Deltic engine while we were sat having a coffee in Soho. Finally settling on "I'll send you a picture". It was the first time I'd met a motor with multiple cranks, and facing pistons. Once you've got your head around that most others are just about possible!
I'd not seen Cam engines either:
