This is a 4 cylinder "tumbling spider" gas power engine. This engine is based on aircraft engines tested in the 40's and 30's. These engines were particularly interesting as replacements for radial engines because they took up less space (had a smaller diameter). They have a swash plate rather than crank shaft.

I've been looking around at some of these sorts or engines myself...It might be fun to make one based on the Trebert design, something like a two-stroke, 500CC three or four.
It's described as a swash plate in the posting info but I think you'll find its actually a wobble plate, the difference being that a swash plate goes round with the driven shaft whereas a wobble plate is attached to the piston rods as in the video. Excellent video anyway and the first time I've seen one working.
