Default Has anyone seen the new OX-2 engine design? CRAZY

I ran across this a little while ago, haven't read enough to really understand all of it, but it looks freakin wild. Whoever came up with that is one smart hombre'!

Check it out: Ox2 Engine

Damn, that's one interesting little motor. I wish they would show a better picture of how the pistons actually turn the driveshaft. I couldn't quite get it from those pictures.

The only potential problem I see is the seals that contain the combustion process. Seems to me that it could have problems like a rotary engine except the seals are not subjected to the same forces as a rotary so who knows.

I wonder if we should invest.

I wish I could find more detailed info. on it, they said that they got 200ft/lbs of torque at 200rpm(Yes, 200) out of a 69 cubic inch engine. So who knows how much power it could make at 3000(redline for OX-2)?

If I find more info, I will post back.
