yep thats what i ment... i apologize for the misunderstanding. Guess i should have worded it differently.

Exactly. Prior split-cycle designs did not fire after TDC (or far enough after TDC) to realize the projected gains. The air-hybrid feature is completely new in a split-cycle arrangement.

This is not a bad design, it uses a lot of the time the engine isn't being worked to store the compression in air that can be used to move the cylinders. No outrageous claims really, it is an engine and compressor. Would be complex to get the timing and controls, but at least they didn't claim "over-unity" or anything silly!It is similar to the older opposing cylinder engine used in ships and trains way back, but for the added compressor and storage which is significant. Thanks.

i dont think you understand its not how many strokes , its how it burns the fuel. the video explains it quite well.

honestly it has been around for quite some time. dont know if its been there since the 1930s but they have had this design before and just couldnt get it right , till now.

the engine doesnt do what it says it can do. if it could there would be proof, not just hype by the 'inventor'. if anyone says otherwise, be prepared to back it up

you are saying the prius is equivalent to a 3.6L six? the prius is slow as hell even with ultra light weight aluminum engine and other parts. I can pull a very long lever and produce more torque than that with my pinky finger it doesnt mean a thing.
