This is not a new concept, but it’s more or less the “swash plate” design, that’s been expanded. It is so cool.

Apparently it needs no valves; so less parts to fail; and that’s the mark of elegant engineering. SIMPLICITY.
Remember, this is still in it’s infancy.

Wow, excellent. Thanks for sharing Jim. Good innovation that the world needs. More with less. As long as we’re tethered to fossil fuels, anything that gets us farther on less of it, the better. And 3 spark plugs for 5 cylinders with no traditional valveing…
I love mechanics; easily as sophisticated as electronics. Check out the Patelo Miniature engines. Breathtaking; like ■■■■■■■■ They all belong in a museum; and the fact he had not formal training in machining, makes it even more fascinating. That a self taught mechanic can do this is amazing. I guess God will have His jokes.
