    Similar concept except they eliminate the sliding contact of the pistons on a ramp or pivoting swashplate and replace that with their trick "reciprocator".

    Neat video, but is old tech unless I am missing something. Check out a revolver cam engine....

    I think there is plenty of technology for greater efficiency and power out there, but it's all about the $$$. Companies dont want to step on their own toes/profits, and make the most they can while big brother gets his $$$ to boot.
