Came across this innovative invention that will most likely become a reality in the future. Especially in PHEV type vehicles

That sounds pretty cool, 1/2 the weight and twice the power...

It's a reciprocating piston engine. It still has a crankshaft.
Every few years we get these ads for 'a new revolutionary engine that will change the world", yet none ever make it because it's a variation on a system that has been tried and true.

"Our 250cc engine makes 16HP". My 1966 Honda 305cc motorcycle was rated at 28 HP. That doesn't sound like "twice the power" to me.

I also don't see a way to scale it up to multiple cyclinders, unless I'm missing something. That is very possible.
