Anyone seen or heard anything about this engine? 
Looks like a Horizontally opposed engine design. Think VW, Porche engines.
I don't see what's inovative about it so far. I'll be surfing their site some.
OH. here's what is innovative. The crank, and rod part. Looks interesting. Really interesting.

GOD I want to go to Australia. Those guy's down-under as some engineering Masters.

This page on that site has a little animated engine that should help you see how it works a little better.
Wonder how they balance that? Probably needs multiple assemblies to balance. A rotating balance wouldn't quite work in this arrangement, I think. Maybe two counter rotating balance weights would cancel the vertical imbalance of a single rotating balance weight.
Also wonder what CR + spark advance they can use with pump gas, or if they could use diesel even.

Only bad thing I see about this engine, is the Chinese have show a LARGE interest in building it for their cars. Reading about it's mechanical efficiency, should work out really well. hopefully America takes a look at this design.
They already use it for Pumping and generation. That version is air-cooled.
