At first glance it has a few similarities with the Wankel engine, but is more advanced. The engine is only suited for hybrid-electric vehicles, but that's okay. The efficiency they are claiming: is over 3x what today's gasoline engines produce. The developers, a team at Michigan State University, hope to have this engine on the market in the next two/three years."

I had a grandfather who invented cold fusion and anti-gravity propulsion, but the goddamn feds confiscated all his plans and then used their mind -control satellites to make him never speak of it again. The bastards!
