Anyone remember the new engine design where the pistons go around in a circle type track? The pistons travel 360 degrees connected to a central crank instead of up and down within the cylinder wall. Along the way, it would pickup the intake, air/fuel, combust, and flush the exhaust.

Not sure about the efficiency (although I believe it was high), but they got some crazy HP out of small CCs.
