two things will happen, one Norbert is right and the oil and car lobbyists will come out and bury it, two, Norbert is right and just the oil companies lobbyists will bury it in our wonderful senate and congress, like our mass transit system, see the world today in your chevrolet, whom do you think is paying for that, yep you and me, where did it come from? yep IQ test

just like they did last century, remember all the light rail infrastructure torn out in the late mid of the last century, hmm, why did that happen? so you would by a Chevy or a Ford

I've seen this before on Youtube and find it VERY intriguing and would very much like to see this hit the market. While I agree it could all get covered up and buried I personally think the car companies and oil companies would have nothing to do with it? They need to sell product and having something like this available would really get them on the map again, but I do think it would be the Government or Governments of the world that would stop it as they have no interest in us being free to travel about expensively and at will, they're the reason fuel prices are high and why there are chocking regulations on every aspect of our lifes! If this never comes to light look to the political leaders as to why.

Interesting design with claims of huge potential, but if its so simple, why isn\'t there a running prototype demonstrated? Lets build one, hook it up to a dyno and get some real test data to back these claims up! ...or, maybe its just claims and nothing else? Dr. Mueller: follow the path of Revetec, who had a concept, built it, tested it, refined it and now has real-world data to present to manufacturers of their design. It may not be as \"revolutionary\" as yours, but its *earned* its cred.

I\'m not going to believe this thing works until I see it.

Seriously Gizmag? This video is nearly TWO YEARS OLD!!!! I have read about this engine before, and I think it was actually from a previous GIZMAG ARTICLE. This is the second article today that appears to have been recycled. What the heck? Anyhow, MzunguMkubwa is right, let's see a working prototype. The video simply discuses the benefits of such efficiency. Yeah thanks, we understand that - tell us about the damn engine!

Atlas Motor Works ducted blade rotary engine is more advanced than this, patented by the late Steve Johnson. I don\'t see how this design can achieve effective compression, so it\'s effectively just a turbine wheel. That\'s been done.

I\'ve been seeing videos of this for at least 2 years now. You\'d think with a 2.5 million grant, he could afford to get a prototype CNC\'d instead of running around with a plastic toy!

Cool !

This sounds very dubious, if the fuel/air is compressed by a wave, will this wave scale to larger compartments? is it in the nature of the \'wave walls\' that turns your explosion into a wave in the cclockwise direction and torque in the clockwise?

I think this is different than a mazda rotary, because there isn\'t gearing containing the explosion. it seems to me that this is more like a high pressure steam turbine and can be sealed similarly.

100% effeciency is impossible, the newest powerplants operate at 60%, so i believe the 60% claim feels exaggerated. when they return claiming 25% i\'ll believe it.
