Quasiturbine Engine

Behold! When will these hit the market? Absolute genius if you ask me.

i read about them, they sound promosing but the company doesn't knw when they'll hit the market, you can buy a kit for an air compressor or for a chainsaw now but i think that's about it. they're still in the r&d stages and the kits are mainly to test them and find what problems there are with them and then they redesign it, it's to avoid hiring their own testers (although im sure they have some as well) and to get the word out about their product. i asked them about if they would be able to produce one with about 60-80 hp for a hybrid engine and they replied they don't know when they'll be available for purchase and that they believe with this engine there'll be no use for hybrids.
