I've just been reading through the info on their web site and wondered if others here also have. The claims seem reasonable to me, so long as the transfer passage can actually be built and fitted and survive the pressures.

Besides, they argue that it is an advantage to have intake and exhaust side divided. However, the contrary is the case, cool intake gases prevent cylinders, pistons and valves from overheating. (Ceramic engines still do not exist.) After all, one reason why diesel piston engines are still more efficient than gasturbines is the fact that they can bear higher temperatures for a short time. A turbine is constantly exposed to hot exhaust gases and thus cannot deal with the same peak temperatures, piston engines can.
Btw, is it seriously this easy to get money from the government?

The concept of separate "intake" and "exhaust" pistons is certainly nothing new. In every case the "working" piston gets all the heat. The engine above looks like it would have very high cylinder sidwall pressure. They might save many millions by doing a little plumbing on a Harley engine. I would'nt buy stock in it.
There have been some 2-strokes set up similarly. A 2-cylinder single or "twingle". Two pistons, one combustion chamber. Rear cylinder intake, front cylinder exhaust. They were made by Puch of Austria, sold in the US by Sears, and I had a few. They ran fairly well, but if pushed too hard had a nasty habit of melting the exhaust side piston.

Using a supercharger to store compressed air for increasing compression is probably not energy efficient. A turbo uses waste exhaust heat.
As with all crankshaft engines used for transportation, the efficiency changes with load and speed. This is not the best design for a vehicle.
RE: Scuderi engine
two piston for one Cycle? how it's going to compensate that?
by 7% more efficiency?
