At first glance bares some resemblance to a rotary engine. Has no valves, no pistons, no radiator doesn't even need a trans! Interesting concept, they are making some strong claims, wonder if it can be proven, 60% efficiency and 90% reduction in emissions! Looks like a match made in heaven for a electric motor hybrid, so compact an lightweight:

agreed that is interesting, probably even more so if i had a engineering degree or a vast knowledge of engines

I'd love to see a 3D animation of it actually running, igniting fuel, etc.
It sounds good in concept. I hope it works.
