Not from motor city but at least the great american high five state...
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42460541...ce-innovation/ I just wish there was a video of it running. Still a super cool idea and thinking way way out of the box. Oh and I wish we had a translator for the instuctor. |

Hmmm.
A happy day for environmentalists, and a sad day for fans of the sound of a good V8, I guess.

Hmm. Reminds me of both a Wankel and a torque converter at the same time.

Is there even a prototype or is this all conceptual? I can't see the video.

Except they didn't show a working model, at any point in the video.

Another brilliant idea that turns out to be crap when you scale it up to a useful size... Like a Sterling engine.
More than anything else, this thing reminds me of a sliver from a gas turbine. Except it's missing a half dozen components that would make it actually function. (Sorry, a "jet" engine)
