Wow, I thought this thing was going to be like a Wankel Engine, and need exotic ceramic compounds for the central bearing, and high RPMS for real power, but it was Dyno tested at 800 RPM for 814 foot pounds of torque
I would really like to see some peer review on this thing.

How about a three-bank trident-type engine with a vane-axial blower inside the triangle? That might be a lot of power in a small space.

Intersting but I have my doubts when they claim it can be oil cooled. 850 hp is 850 hp no matter how you cut it and the heat required to make that hp would be about the same. Reducing the size of the engine that much means the heat would be even more concentrated. I think it would melt on the first powered run.
Umm, i think they are saying that less energy goes into heat losses, and more energy goes into work.
That aside, I too I have my doubts about the ability of oil cooling 850 h.p.
