Massive Yet Tiny (MYT) Engine. "This engine is scalable to any size. The automobile size is just the size of a coffee can and weighs just 24 pounds. only 15 moving parts. 200-500hp. runs at 50-15000rpm. the list of amazing goes on and on."

MYT Los Angeles Auto-Show Interview
Description, with CG model. show comparison between today's engines vs. MYT engine
Close up internals
Neat concept, but i want to see one IN a car and running. Stressing the hell out of that engine. I want to see it in a SEMI pulling a full load.
EDIT: Found this video on it, there's hand powered demo-then there's one actually running...

HORRIBLE audio quality, and the video isn't very impressive.
What i can gather from the video is that they're starting it at around 500+rpm and they're going down from there till it shuts off.

Cool. Any recent development on this???
I don't know if it would fly though, no doubt it probably works, but I mean what do you think of other companies that would not want to see this mass produced??
Trust me I want 800ft-lbs. at idle yes indeedy. Do you think big oil and other companies would want such a thing, 150 miles per gallon? Shame too, I'm sure if it came people could stop bitching about emissions and garbage, and high gas prices, but once again, the oil companies would probably try to make a gallon of gas like $10 then, then you could run bio fuel then. Who the hell knows?

It is rather odd that no true advancements of the internal combustion engine have been made in the last 110 plus years. The way we control them has made leaps and bounds but the engine itself is virtually unchanged. I hope this actually goes somewhere...

Im also wondering how it works under a load and how much maintance is involved in this motor? Also i would guess that motor would be a bitch to work on since everything is so compact!

that is some wild ****! I would love to see it as well actually running. its one thing to see some brainiac turn a hand crank and another to see that bitch in a cab over Pete hauling hogs.

That's ****** insane!! I'd love to put that in a lil sleeper geo metro, leave the real engine and put this in the back for rwd. Wonder how a drivetrain would hold up to the claimed power output.

very cool, the thing to watch on thes would be the "piston" to "piston wall" contact hopefully it doesn;t end up being like the rotary engine. i saw something like this last year online it was an engine that had such high compressions that you could burn anything, really cool.
