Every couple of years a new discovery  appears. Usually with a prototype. But this one runs on a white board only. Check valves, Sliding valves, etc, they may as well include sone apex seals if they can. 60% efficiency, here we come!

That kind of reminds me of the Comprex Wave Supercharger system. Another great idea that went nowhere.

Nothing like coming up with big ideas that would be way to expensive to market to any consumer other than the government.  ;)
