Very interesting design, another ingenious solution to a non-existent
problem.  Just because something CAN be done does not mean that it
SHOULD be done.  Even this design does not get around the fundamental
problem of the reciprocating engine: it reciprocates!  A large mass is
accelerated in one direction, then must be brought to a stop, and then
moved in the other direction, then stopped, etc. Major chunks of energy
eaten internally before you produce any output.  One of the main
attractions of the Wankle is getting around this problem.  This is a
major advantage of turbine engines, output efficiency. I admire the
genius of the inventors/designers and their commitment to trying to make
this work, but a hundred years of perfecting (and understanding the
science and mechanics) of the reciprocating engine and the development
of efficient manufacturing techniques is going to be hard to overcome.
Now, let's talk electrics.....
Putting on the Nomex and ducking.
