The 1906 Compound built in Connecticut USA used a similar system. Was said to run very quietly with a very cool exhaust. 16 horsepower. Interesting, but not new.

The sound you will hear is the exhaust pop of the third cylinder, "the fifth stroke" once every revolution. No asthma. While the idea sounds quite brilliant, one question begs to be answered: The crank angle and valve timing of the third cylinder. 180* crank, offset by a few degrees in the block can't possibly be the best solution. @Dan M.

The Fiat can do much of the same thing actively changing the cam profile on the fly. Both claim similar fuel economy improvements. Nice to see fresh thinking.

IMHO there is no "best" engine/motor....or never will be if mankind requires fur\ture mobility. I've always said the most fun is on a small bike....how about a 15 hp streamliner (3 wheels) ?
