it looks weak, kind of weird joint bearing flywheel/crankshaft thing.

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.

Is the swash plate less efficient than the conventional crankshaft?

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.

so u pay 1000 bucks for an engine that serves no purpose other than to look at. Seems like a bit of a waste of money to me.
