all i can say is holy ----. they air tested it(150 psi no fuel). and it showed mid 800s in hp and torque. they estimate with fuel ignition.................2000 ft/lb of torque per 2 chambers. want bigger motor, just bolt up another chamber or two

So that means it'll work, right?

you think it will ever become reality.....its like SSAC.....almost too good to be true

One of the main advantaes that has is there is not much reciprocating mass. It takes a lot of energy to stop a piston an start moving it the other way. Also a gallon of gasoline only holds a certain amount of energy that is a chiemical property, it can't be changed. Also gasoline burns at a given temerature,and the air out side is a certain temperature, this tells us that there is only a certain efficeincy that a machine that burns gasoline can obtain. damn thermodynamics

How does it bring air in to be compressed and get rid of the exhaust gasses. Thats a cool idea. the only problems that would be hard to over come would be the air induction system and sealing the motor up so it can build compression.
