Faux seemed remarkably objective for a change.

Scuderi Engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've read about this before; it was all the rage 3 years ago; supposedly they have a fistful of patents already; don't know why this last one is any different.

I've read about how it supposedly works several times and I have to admit, I don't get it. What makes a piston supercharger any better than any other sort of supercharger? On top of that, it's turbocompounded- that's nothing new. So then there's firing at ATDC, which I think is neat, but I don't understand what makes it work in this layout; why couldn't any ol' ICE have that?
