I have already read it. I drove one the Ford Orbital prototypes fitted in a
Ford Fiesta. About 80 of these were given to British and German police
forces for testing. No vales, so revved like hell. Fast, economical,
smooth, lots or torque, and just a small thing at the bottom of the engine
bay. The exhaust was about 3 inches diameter.

At least, we don't have to pay 40$ to see the revolutionary concept like
other inventors try to trick people.
And it looks like it is running. For a proof, a movie with a running
chainsaw would be cool.

I saw one clip back when this abortion first appeared or near
thereafter. The performance as pathetic and that's being generous.

So it works then! A good objective engineer will look at a concept for the
benefits it gives. This invention has clear benefits over existing tired
technology. Since these people ran up a working prototype they have refined
the design and introduced further designs and applications. The notion of
having a combined Stirling/IC unit running the Stirling of the waste heat of
the IC side, although not a new idea as this was proposed in piston engines
too, is real neat. Small, simple, compact, light, highly efficient, etc. A
working prototype unit of all these designs would be brilliant.
Many authorities journals have commended the Quasiturbine and viewed it as a
viable alternative to current piston IC engines. Most people base their
scepticism on major conservative corporation not adopting new technologies -
mainly due to vested interest, and just plain ignorance.
