I've seen 50 engines like this get millions invested only to find out the mtbo is 11 hours.
Yes

Everyone is discussing the engne and its design which is very nice

The basic idea of the engine is to reduce fuel consumption
As has been stated above its engineering dogma, they are continuing up the same same road everytime - "Fuel reduction and efficiency" of oil based fuels,
If steam engine technology had been developed at the same rate as the oil based engines you would have a steam engine the size of suitcase with little internal mechanisms. (ie complicated gearboxes)
In the 1920 steam cars were driving at 120mph
Engine design is based on need to use oil and to maintain the use of oil. (dogma)
In the UK our roads are rubbish and our cars are small and we have the safest roads in the world, then again you cannot drive very fast because we have speed camera's hidden in every tree

If I had large amounts of money I would buy a E Type Jag and drive all day long
