New Engine Design - Made in China

Funky, out of the box thinking. Apparently they've solved the typical 2 stroke problem of reduced efficiency and pollution. Looks imbalanced to me. Wonder how it holds up long term.

Seems too good to be true.

Quote :

For a given power level, the opoc™ engine is 30-percent lighter, one-quarter the size, and achieves 50-percent better fuel economy compared with a state-of-the-art, conventional turbo-diesel engine. Because of this breakthrough, we are enthusiastic about the internal combustion engine’s future. It’s a breakthrough based on the strength of extraordinary power density.

May stand a chance, as conventional engine manufacturing tools can make it.

But the Dyna Cam in the next vid impressed me more.

I do believe they tried shopping this design around to the US automakers but nobody was interested. Typical not designed here mentality.
