This looks interesting
If it becomes successful, expect fuel tax to go up to 4 times the present level though
Remember what happened to diesel prices once there were large numbers of diesel cars

True, the government will demand the same tax income per mile from the motorist

Interesting like the many other engines designed over the years to do away with the current designs. Most work but are not durable or are thermally inefficient. Sounds like it is self igniting like a diesel and rotory with seals like the Wankel. We will see if the seals are durable.
