New engine technology - lots of HP out of a small package

I don't see any kind of cooling system. I wonder how they keep the engine cool enough to prevent seizure from heat expansion.
 
Only works well turning a stator to make electricity.

It'd work well in a Volt type configuration as a hybrid.

Otherwise you have to spend ridiculous money and weight on a really strong gearbox to reduce this down to a workable RPM.
 
They have a working prototype and they are starting initially with Aerospace but said it could be adapted for standard gasoline and other applications. The whole video of all them talking about the engine is about 30 minutes of the total video length.

As for sealing like Apex Seals they mention that in the video. It's not using any seals but extremely tight clearances so while there is some blowby it's so minuscule the engine can even operate on extremely combustible hydrogen safely.

It's a great concept that looks like it holds promise and will be interesting to watch.

With such tight tolerances, I would think that heat expansion could be a problem.
