Anyone else seen this? It's starting to get some serious attention with investors putting big bucks into aquiring it. Here's a link to the manufacture's website...

And here's another story on DefenseNews that's looking into using it...

Funny, I remember looking under a hood of an oooold Chevy truck and the air filter looked like this engine. :)

Thats dang snappy.
To think that this is running 60,000 RPMs...

The science behind it is older than that which is behind the internal combustion engine. I just think its amazing that something like that can be done with technology that old.

Its bulky, but that could very well be the way of the future.

This is cool. Gonna get one of my engineer friends (with automotive development background) to look at this. Thanks.
