When the world's wealthiest man invests in a new engine design,
you gotta wonder if this will bring more jobs back to America?

Keep your eyes on this company, http://www.ecomotors.com/
There's over 3 Billion dollars invested in this project so far.
There are a lot of big players investing in the design. I'm impressed.

Interesting design - not quite the same - but reminiscent of the old Comma TS3 engine ( if your old enough to remember it ! ) was a similar concept - but it died out a long time ago - no one else as far as I know has revisited the idea since - seems kinda strange to put that much money into internal combustion at a time that surely future designers must be thinking about alternative fuels & engines - ( Mr fusion anyone ? !!) I guess it does'nt pay to think outside the box too much all the time the governments of the world rely on oil profits ! - I'd like to believe that Stan Meyers concept was plausible & not an elaborate hoax - maybe one day when there is so little oil left we will see something come of his work - but I doubt it - I'm sure other technologies already exist - but the successful ones will no doubt be the sort that enslaves us to government - not that provide clean free energy.
