Most of the OEM's are very interested the test results and those who signed the NDA will be going to Southwest Research the end of May to see the engine running and performance results. The unveiling will be in Detroit April 20th (SAE Congress), The Scuderi Group already has 10 major OEM, signed NDA's (non discloser agreements) in house and several more are expected in the near future.

I made sketches two decades ago, that laid-out exactly what Crower describes as his 6-cycle engine. I can't believe that there are not a thousand such sets of drawings and some prototypes in back yard sheds - its an obvious device. I never built one, but I did look at adding an external 3 to 1 cam drive, etc. to a Briggs and Stratton. Should've, could've, would've.... The Penske approach of using a hydraulic pump and accumulator for regen braking and short-burst acceleration looks interesting. Soy-based oil will be a lot cheaper to recycle after its usefull life-span has been reached than exotic metal-based batteries from current electric hybreds.
