The rotating sleve can have problems like the sleeve valve engine used in aircraft and some small generators. Try the duke engine in a oilfield application wich is one of the most Demanding applications for life and durability. so far the standard piston engine used around the world has been the most reliable. My 4 cylnder 2.5 liter GM engine went over 300,000 miles with just a fiber cam gear falure
why pester yourselves when you can use simple technology?? electric engines...!!! the battery is a problem but more simple. Less things to care about and almost nothing to maintain...!!
The only place I can see a potential problem with this engine is how it seals the rotating cylinder block against the spark plug/valve end. I suspect it would have a lot of the problems Wankel engines have, in terms of burning oil.
Working principle looks like my radial bi rotaray, but in a axial concept using the wobbleplate/swashing plate mechanism like the Charles Redrup. Very good one.

Anyone heard of the Shepherd Engine? How do you think the two engines compare to one another?

It's exactly like the Sanderson engine; can't see any differences.

Could it work with forced induction? Turbo? Supercharger?

Yeah Yeah! All really pointless considering there won't be anything to fuel these things soon?

Simply Awesome!
This looks similar to the Sanderson Rocker Arm Mechanism.
I can see 50000km oil changes.
Wonder what the minimum rpm is on this one.
Maybe I'm wrong but you might have a small sealing issue with no valves.
Awesome tech.

so theoreticaly can the engine run turbos or superchargers ?
