Count me as a skeptic. Some of the language as pointed above raise red flags as to the credibility of the invention. Why wouldn't the engine be suitable for primary transportation? The article seemed to say it is only suitable as an APU. Perhaps it suffers from poor performance or longevity at varied speeds? If so, then it would be suitable as a series hybrid electric engine.
