The part I'd like to see explained is using it for a compressed air pump for regeneration. That sounds like an end run around the Scuderi patent.

There's also no need for a throttle body and the packaging of the engine is more simplified compared to an engine using a camshaft system.
No pumping loses. When the Chinese actuators are on eBay, it will be possible to 3D print a VW 1600cc boxer head with a 4-valve hemi combustion chambers and a compressed air hybrid system. It would rev to 15,000rpm.
