I have a couple of guitar picks like this
-
Does it help in any way? All of mine are just normal guitar pick shaped.
-
According to Wikipedia, the benefit is that this shape has 3 tips, and assuming that you use all 3 tips, it will last 3 times as long.
In practice this means you can achieve an annual savings on your guitar picks budget of about 1$.

I think your link has a spurious “.com” in there

Oh weird. Thanks.

Are these used in rotary engines
...my first thought, too, but no: they have many mechanical applications but wankel rotors use slightly flatter geometry...
As somebody who knows nothing about this, I find wankel hilarious. Right up there with cockburn valves.
