I like the name :D

I'm wondering about the inspiration for it...

Interesting.

Wondering about fuel delivery, cooling, and exhaust, etc.

Would like to see one in "real world" application.

How is that thing making compression? Is the piston hollowed out on the top side to form a cylinder chamber of some sort?

interesting idea.

there's a reason the keyboard has not changed in over 100 years, even though other designs are better. likewise, while a neat concept, he's got a mountain of inertia to overcome to start dropping those in the from of minivans and trucks. remember the rotary engine? didn't replace the V-8. same fate awaits i suspect. he'd have a chance if he could get a racing league to adopt it as a way to show it off.

Nifty

How do they seperate the cylinders at the barrel ends where it slides on the head plate which holds the ports and plugs? It would have to have some kind of cermaic seal, and be lubricated...somehow?

Also, how is the engine itself lubricated

Swashplate engines have been around for >100 years
