Please look at mecxic.com and fire away at me ........
I like the geared crank idea, I think it has some merit.

The valving system looks overly complicated and restrictive. You are making the air flow through small ports and using a valve that has to move instantaneously from one position to another (a physical impossibility). I would suggest changing to poppet valves and focusing on the geared crank, which is the heart of the system.
