alright, I fell for the coates spherical rotary valve with its springless rotating lobes, but at least that was still a reciprocating piston IC engine. This thing, the MYT engine (massive yet tiny) is making the rounds at my favorite sites, and I really think it's a crock, if not for their claim that displaces 850 cubic inches (they're counting 32 firings in a cycle despite there really only being 8 combustion chambers that fire four times in the course of a full rotation), but for the fact that they run compressed air through it and claim it's "doing work," and then go on to say "it'll probably be able to get 100 mpg" based on it weighing so much less than other motors.

Thought I'd let y'all weigh in on it, I'm pretty sure this is one unusually well-regarded hoax.
