the generator is 3.5 times more fuel efficient than typical combustion engines

New Car Engine Sends Shock Waves Through Auto Industry

This looks pretty big...cheaper, lighter, more efficient, less pollution.

However, researchers at Michigan State University have built a prototype gasoline engine that requires no transmission, crankshaft, pistons, valves, fuel compression, cooling systems or fluids. Their so-called Wave Disk Generator could greatly improve the efficiency of gas-electric hybrid automobiles and potentially decrease auto emissions up to 90 percent when compared with conventional combustion engines.
