Bet there's very little torque. Might make a decent fixed speed engine for a generator.

Interesting, but not holding my breath.

That is what it is being built for, to power a generator, making a hybrid.

All it needs is a flywheel or two. ";^)

The combustion engine is kinda like the light bulb. No on has really been able to come up with any kind of substitute that’s just as good if not better.

I'll bet your statement on low torque is right on the spot. I am dubious of whirling wheels being able to cut it when you need real lugging power like you get from a slow burn, long stroke diesel engine. If the only torque you get comes from high rpm, you will need a fluid slip transmission system which will greatly reduce the efficiency.

The Professor in the video claims the engine is for an electric hybrid car and produces a constant 25KW of electricity. He discussed having some batteries with regenerative braking. Their main claim is they created an electric generator that is more efficient and very lightweight.

There might be something to it. I will only become a believer in electric hybrids when each wheel has an independent electric motor for all wheel drive on demand (including regenerative breaking). I have my reasons for this design over others.

The Professor says three years, but did not show a working prototype. I am not holding my breath.
