I saw Kinetic BEI (the company in this video) at the AUVSI.org trade show in DC, they had the engine shown on the poster in this video although they said it had "blown up" in testing. These engines seem like a great advance in power to weight ratio and efficiency IF they can get them working reliably. But this is not a new concept, its been around for nearly 100 years.
I`m fascinated by the nutating disc engine and have been reading a lot abot the british brothers who built one, but I can`t quite grasp how it works. He in the video mentions that the whole underside of the disc becomes the combustion chamber, how does that work if one side is in the intake phase and the other is in the compression phase? Anyone have a simple to grasp .avi or something similar which shosws/explains how it works?
Seems like this idea has merit. Any trails/testing footage? What is the projected mpg? Pretty high I would imagine. You know they say the worlds most powerful and efficient engine would be a direct injection 2-stroke all the while they are nearly all barred. I think max power and economy could become of this nutating disk . . . but we gotta see the goods and you'll need public support if your serious.

This is being applied to the US Army and Air Force's Diesel Nutating Disk Engine for UAV's. You can search the engine up on wiki.
