RE: New engine drastically improves driving range and cuts emissions.
Seals necessary for compression on this system are likely to be its weakest point - burning out rather quickly. Look for short engine life. Almost everything suggested from Mueller is on a theoretical basis. Making the process and materials preform in the theoretically projected and a pragmatic way has always been the downfall of these really high efficiency engines and is likely to be on this one as well. The scary part of this news release is that its coming before there have been many real world tests. If those tests had been done and were successful - there would be contracts already in place. Likely this is a funding needs news release. Even so, I'm glad someone is still trying to build a better internal combustion mouse trap.
