Hey I was wondering if anyone has seen this engine yet.. I believe they released info about it to the public early this year....
It combines rotary and piston together.. The best of both worlds I guess.... its called the M.Y.T. (mighty) or massive yet tiny engine.... here is a cuple of links to some of the vids....

i hope this engine realy works dammit.. talk about small and still hella good on gass

Some big oil company will buy the patent rights and mothball that bitch. There ain't no way big oil is gonna let that **** get built.
+1 on that ****. Not a new concept the rotary and piston motors. Old airplanes used them back in the day, the scarfs pilots wore werent for stylish fashion it was to wipe the oil off of your goggles.
Here's one called a "Gnome" that was used during WWI... http://www.keveney.com/gnome.html

Well infact the myt engine is a new concept. That gnome engine is a radial engine, A type of rotary engine. There is still reciprocal motion, the myt has no reciprication just stop and go movement. Im sure that engine sucked fuel like there was no tomorrow. It could be refined but will still run like a regular piston engine, the cylinders are just placed differently, and the crankshaft is completely different.

The fore & aft piston wheels completely stop & start.
All that rotational inertia transfer is managed by gears, cranks & connecting rods like an Auto engine.
1) The first engineering challenge will be getting the excess heat out of the gear case.
2) The next will lubricating that bitch at anything over ~2000 RPM.
3) Then there is keeping burned fuel contamination out the compression seal between the two piston locating discs without loosing so much oil that is smokes badly.
4) Then there is the long term wear in the torrioid chamber where the ends of the piston rings meet the locating disc.
5) I almost forgot that lubing the piston rings will seep oil by gap at the end of the rings.
O yea – this baby is going to burn some serious oil.
All the above can (maybe) be overcome with a few more million in R&D.
