Good job, Mech,
It appears that you and I are snooping down the same path. Sandia-Livermore has had a project involving opposed pistons and magnetic coupling to reach the compression levels we are talking about.

Possibly multi fuel capable with variable compression, or even multiple fuel capable simultaneously.
I think one of the govt research labs is doing research on an engine with the goal of 60%efficiency. I think my integrated engine-flywheel design has the capability to reach that level of efficiency.
