There are lots of engine designs that look good on paper, actually making one work is another matter. That toroidal chamber looks as if it would be a sod to make and seal. Show me a working one, and *actual* performance measurements rather than theoretical predictions, and it might be more credible.

Sounds like the ideal power plant for your Moller Skycar

My thoughts exactly, looks over complicated.

unfortunately, like all engines with a huge cylinder surface area to capacity ratio, it will make huge power, with terrible fuel economy, why not just use a gas turbine, that has only on moving bit!!

doubly unfortunately, just in case you havent noticed, the times of huge power low economy engines are i fear somewhat passing!! lol!

I'd be more interested in the Epicyclical Disc rotary engine the US airforce is throwing money at for UAVs.

there is a video of the engien on the website i do believe.

what about the concept though?? how would it compeare to a half rotation engine??
