Like a rotary engine but less complex (less parts)?

bought out by someone who doesnt want it on the market perhaps?
I dunno how viable it is for production though. very interesting concept none the less

Sent the link to one of the guys at work. Turns out he spent about 8 years on that project. Including running the Dyno on the Version 3 tests.

Looks a bit complicated, wonder what the parts cost and durability would be like...
