Interesting concept. Hate to be using one in a vehicle if timing screws up. Would like to see some independent reviews from engineers

“if timing screws up”
My first thought,too. A little mis-alignment and I think you would come to a sudden stop.

I was also thinking about the timing...Henry Ford was obsessed with his design of the “X Engine”, an 8 cylinder with 2 cylinders transposed to each other in an X ...the timing killed it.

Looks like that’s timed in hundredths of a degree.
It’s easy enough to get a timing chain off by a tooth when there’s only 50 teeth!
