Default Re: Aussie invention eliminates piston rings

Anything to try and improve the abysmal efficiency of turning fuel into motion that a standard petrol engine has at the moment can't be a bad thing.

Seriously...if you had invented the internal combustion engine today and went to a company to say you had discovered this amazing way of moving a vehicle, and then said "But it's only capable of operating at less than 20% efficiency at the absolute best, usually a lot less", the financial backers would laugh and say "interesting idea...but go try again, that's hopeless".
