Saw this from another list:

http://www.angellabsllc.com/

Some kind of wierd rotary-like diesel. Claims 32 power pulses/revolution. Here's an animation:

Looks wacky and I'm not sure what kind of weird clutch it would need on the crankshaft to deal w/ the stop/start nature of the output shaft but it looks intruiguing.

Thoughts?

That's interesting, but the website seems kind of unprofessional, sort of slapped together somehow.

Sounds like a backyard inventor looking for money, which wouldn't be hard to get if your idea worked...

There's great theories, then there is great inventions. If he builds a working model that matches up with his theoretical performance, he'll be rich.

But he'll need more than a website to get venture capitol.

Its not a diesel, it doesnt self ignite.

The audio may be deceptive that way...it's hard to tell whether the thing on the left is a spark or an injector. With a listed 25:1 compression ratio, it's hard to see how it would NOT self-ignite.

I'll believe it when I see it, but here's hoping...

It definitely sounds like it gets whipping around pretty good.
