Interesting concept. However, as the video points out - the company is lying about at least 2 easily verifiable things. What else aren't they telling us as they try to raise money.

TL/DR on the video. The engine has some advantages mainly simplicity, size, and weight. The downside is likely very low torque at high RPM. The most likely applications are as a range extender, airplanes / drones, and generator. Basically applications were small and light is key and RPM is fixed.

I'll add another likely problem which is emissions unless it runs at a fixed RPM.
