Actually, many 4-stroke engines have intake and exhaust overlap, where both are open at the same time for a bit. This is especially so in higher-performance engines, though they generally don't go...

Do YOU know how combustion works?

The ridiculous claims aside, there is merit to hot vapor engines though the gains to be found are only in the percentage range and not in orders of magnitude.
