ya. I'm not expecting a lot out of this.
There are already diesel-electric cars with engines built specifically to run at the optimal rpm for their size/weight/specifications. (I'm told driving them is a little disconcerting at first, because there is engine noise, but it doesn't change in response to the accelerator).
and since that hasn't taken off in massive popularity, probably due to all the issues listed above, I fail to see how a "new" engine that has all the same issues will.
