You say that is not possible, based on your understanding of engines. I say give me two hours of your time and I will show you it's not only possible, is absolutely practical....

I like to think of it as bone headed determination, and a never say quit attitude. Kind of like the guy who uses his face to break your fists in a fight.

Yes, I understand some of the mechanical compromises of reciprocating engines, and know that flywheels are one of the most compact storage devices known to man (Where the heck did that Garrett research project of the 70s end up???) So I'm quite sure you probably "have something" with that. University based H2 experimenters (Of the hydrogen is the fuel of the future, just don't ask where it comes from camp) have hit a brick wall with conventional arrangements at around 50% overall efficiency, when the thermodynamics say there's quite a chunk more to be gotten, so obviously any kind of hydrogen and conventional motor is not the ultimate answer, it's still wasteful. If you wanna do something about your own FE right now though, you're not gonna swap out your whole drivetrain.
Anyway, yes, any design that gets the most possible use out of the energy that pushes the pistons is gonna improve efficiency drastically also, I admire your sticking to your guns on that idea.

Without fuel, they were nothing..thundering machines sputtered & stopped..Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice
