I'd be a bit more excited if it had at least some efficiency advantages
over the common or garden diesel engine.  The "low maintenance" claim
won't really be proven until the engine is actually in use.

As regards burning "anything", how do they actually start ignition of
the low volatility fuels mentioned?  e.g. coal dust, diesel etc?
