This is a joke right Paul?  That picture is at least twenty years old.

Is it the haircut or the glasses?

I considered if it were a joke, but this is too expensive for a joke.
That chunk of aluminum(?, looks like) would cost thousands of
dollars, so it must be real enough to spend much $$$.

So some sort of supercharger for a large stationary diesel?  Prototype
locomotive rotary??    Ship diesel ??   That would produce
on the order of 10,000 or more HP at car type RPMS, and several
thousands at low RPMs.

Since the load on the rotor bearing is mV^r  r being the eccentric shaft
off set it ain't going to run fast.
No PSRU needed.
