Default Interesting engine design

I thought you guys might find this intersting.I am curious to see if this makes it into production on maybe some small equipment to see how well it really works.

Well I think they have there sites set on bigger things like buses,cars etc.I would imagine you would start with small stuff to get some long term reliability testing etc.The only downfall about the site is that they are obviously not going to list and negatives about as they are pushing it.Looks like a pretty solid design though.

Weird, i guess it makes sence, i'd like to see one in action though (in a vehicle, not a lawn mower) just to see how it would stack up

At a recent auto show I think Mitsu was saying they were developing a prototype AWD car w/ the 'engines' in the wheels as such where the rotors would normally be. I'm pretty sure it was Mistu. I'll mod this if I find a link.
