I'm not sure if i'm missing something but it would seem that the engine would be less efficient. Looking at the animated pictures above that would just be a high compression 3 cylinder with twice the rotating mass since it has two rotating assemblies. Other than possibly starting possibly being quicker and revving faster I would think a high compression 3 cylinder would be more efficient.
