I'll call bs. on this one, it's going to be as fuel inefficient as a rotary, if not worse. Look at it as a bassackwards, direct-drive jet engine, of sorts - just like the Wankel. Expanding gas pushing against a fan/rotor/vane. The combustion needs to stay in the engine longer to develop good torque and efficiency.
I like how they're all whoopie over it being able to burn hydrogen. BFD. What I'd like to know is what engine can't? I suppose with enough effort even a diesel can run on hydrogen.
