p.s. My apoplexies if someone's already posted this...just thought it was cool & intriguing.

Huge hole is huge
That looks.......confusing. *This coming from a guy who is STILL confused about all the parts of the Piston Engine, and regularly visits "How Stuff Works" to find out how different parts of cars work.*

This looks like some engineering student's paper for some class.
Wake me when they have video of one running rather then pretty drawings. I have alfy for all my pretty drawings.
Turns out they made a demo model out of metal! Sweet deal. Still want to see one running.
This seems complex compared to a wankel. Lots more parts sliding against eachother. I wonder how you seal everything too...
