I'd sure like to see bit more detail on how intake and exhaust are managed=
=20
and even the slightest hint how lubrication and cooling will be achieved.  =
I=20
saw the ported pistons for cooling, but with that portion of the piston=20
inside the cylinder wall I don't visualize the path of the cooling air flow=
s.

Except for things like any pumps and valve trains not shown...  it looks li=
ke=20
this engine design might just run in reverse as easily as forward.

Website suggests a running demo by summer.  I assume this summer... so mayb=
e=20
just any day now.
