I designed a rotary engine that is very similar to this a couple of years back...Mine is simpler than this design as it only requires three sliding seals to the rotor, rather than four...Would love to see a video showing a working version of this design, or havent they got that far?
-
Those seals are going to break so hard...

These kind of rotary engines are neat, but you have to keep in mind that the biggest problem with these engines are the seals. A piston engine is very simple, as it only needs basic, circular piston rings, but this engine would require incredibly complex seals, which would most likely not last very long and/or not do their job properly. Even the Wankel rotary has sealing problems, which is why it's not very efficient, and thus not very popular. (Though it's great as a sporty, lightweight engine)

Would there not be major sealing issues with this?
-
this kind of engine remenber me the hydraulic pump

Warning kid?
Mite go have a look a Vengance power and check your not using thier pattent!
I did a turbine rotor, alot like theirs too. best to check, I did. You should.
-
A standard wankel has 3 sliding surface points per rotor. This has 16.
And at least 12 will need to be fully sealed to keep the gasses where they need to be.
The seals in rotary engines are the crux that make them maintenance hogs and have poor emissions.

one of the better engine concepts I have seen, has it been prototyped and efficiency and power to weight numbers produced? it does not look too complex
-
too meny friction motor life = 1 year

I'm looking at this and I'm having a hard time seeing what's happening on the compression side. Where does the air/fuel on the front side of the sliding plate go as it's squeezed? Does it go to the combustion chamber in front of it? If so, how does it get there are as it looks like the rotor is hard against the housing?
Also, the spark plug holes would allow the compressed air to be able to escape around the seal and get to the other side of the plate.
BTW, I do like concept of this engine.



Nice motor
I designed one like this years ago, from an idea my Grandfather was working on. Same sliding plates and all. But this motor was already invented. Its called the Heidrich motor. I think I spelled it right. It was 20 yrs ago.
I even used a cam track to control the sliders.
Never built it once I found it wasnt my idea.
I used 6 plates.
Veru cool to see it again. =]
The power out should be tremendous for the size. Very simple, but sealing the chambers is the hard part of it all.

Cool. but simple is best...
