Radically new engine designs almost always aren't.

Unusual & highly promising engine implementations almost invariably fail to
deliver.

Even the most plausible designs almost always meet the above two "rules"

All that said, this one *LOOKS* promising and new.
TBD.

One stroke multi fuel, pistons have no sideforces, conrods slide straight,
smaller engine size and weight per swept volume  than conventional designs,
aiming at about 5% energy efficiency gain over conventional engines.

 Spokesman on video below sounded very cool calm and collected, & *seemed*
to know his stuff. Whther it would actuually work as well as they claim I
cannot tell. Murphy says no.
