That is pretty cool.

That is really genius.... but "fewer parts"? CMON.

[Asian Mike]

that's kinda cool

Looks like they just re-invented the wheel really. No new concepts here. It's a 2 stage engine with pistons arranged like an axial pump. I don't see how they will be cheaper or any more efficient than a conventional engine. It is neat though no doubt about it

Rotary Piston Engine, Wankel just rolled over in his grave and got a boner.

interesting but i'd like to see where this benifits over a more "normal" engine.

also the radial engines, i've always wondered how the lower pistons don't just fill up with oil

I really don't see any benefit besides it's lighter. To me it looks like that guy just spent his money on fixing something that wasn't broken.
