I'd be interested in what's being said during the vids linked.

Seems like a lot of moving parts and that ramp seems like it's pretty
heavily loaded.  Interesting idea though.

Paul,
 Just to double-check: did you see the English-dubbed video at this link?

The engine seems interesting.  Like a Wankel, it has no valves.  Still,
like a conventional piston engine it has reciprocating piston mass
(trying to pull the engine apart).  The shape of the combustion
chamber (surface area to volume) is akin to a conventional piston
engine and closer to optimum than a Wankel, so the new motor would
be expected to have good (theoretical) fuel consumption figures.
Lots of moving parts, machining, and probably high cost.  Power
to weight: probably remains to be seen.
