850cid engine about the side of a small waste basket?

Same reason we didn't have internets in 1958. Young technology.
The compressed air test was only done to show how little internal friction there is. It kept spinning until it stalled out at less than like 50 rpm.

The idea is pretty neat, but I want to see the insides of the damn thing.

I can spin a pinwheel with compressed air, it doesn't mean it can efficiently compress and combust an air fuel mixture and translate that release of energy into usable mechanical energy especially under a load. He's looking for investment money, and has no real proof that his engine works.
It is a good idea, he just needs to get it running off fuel under its own power and get a video of it on an engine dyno or something.

^^^^^ i agree the fact that they refuse to show the engine under load or running in a good video. Make me think that it absolute bullshit if there was a engine that made that much power with such little weight the government would buy them out just so they could put them in tanks ect. Why dose every one always think its a reality. all who thinks this is real probley thinks the moon landing was fake and the government is a giant conspiracy.

I love how professor fatass vouches for the engines reliability by saying it utilizes parts from existing combusion engines, and their reliability. Show me one part inside that enigne that you could toss in a d-series. That combustion chaber looks hard as hell to seal. I can't see it having perfect compression for a few million miles like a lot of truck engines do. Plus if it's firing 16 times in a revolution it must use a fuckload of fuel.
