    That would be a great engine for single-engine planes... How realistic is it? Does it actually achieve what the inventor claims?

    I wish I had $10 Million, I'd set him on his way for the retrofit manufacturing, and get him to start working on a VTOL air car design.

    That engine is going to suffer the same problem that most of these unique engine designs do, sealing the combustion chamber. A round piston is very easy to seal and in a conventional lubricated engine, easy to lubricate. With odd shapes and curves, especially if there are angles where two sealing edges meet, then getting a good seal is very hard. Even the Wankle engines suffered sealing problems and to this day, a small amount of oil must be injected to maintain the seals on the Mazada.

    Sealing is the single reason we have yet to move away from traditional reciprocating piston IC engines.

    Yeah, I would like to see it run on the diesel it was designed for or does someone have a link to that video?

    Anywho, damn clever design to say the least! ;)
