It looks like a beautiful piece of engineering! I hope they are able to find a viable niche for it and push it to market!

I sure wish those animations would loop. I guess I'll just cross my fingers and hope the engine is eventually featured on animatedengines.com!

How can they call this a radically new type of engine when it is still ran on petrol / diesel ( ie fossil fuel )?

I remember hearing about this, and the problem was wear on the moving parts. The engine does not last long enough.

It's been done (better) 60years ago - look up 'Deltic'

Good to know that most ideas didn't have a real look : "In most cases, I simply deleted each release and went on with my work." I was just asking myself why we are still locked with petrol engines...

how is this different from a flat-twin? <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat-twin" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat-twin</a>
