Clever idea. The high compression ratio diesel cycle looks very
promising. Thermodynamicaly I think it could be pretty impressive.
The website says that mostly the thing has been run on compressed air
at 150 psi. Mechanical construction looks like another story. After
looking over the drawings, I bet there will be horrible strength and
sealing problems with all the monkey motion that has to go on to
sequence the pistons. I hope this guy solves all the problems, but I
sure won't hold my breath.
