Not a new design but with new technology it could be developed for private and commercial vehicles to meet emissions standards while having the power and torque for daily use. From the basic design, it may also be more fuel efficient as well as having a longer work life over todays gas and diesel engines.

It'll be interesting to see if this technology actually goes anywhere.
They have been around for many years, but never became very commonplace. The only ones that I have ever seen were about 60 years ago in Navy ships. Only a few then. They were made by Fairbanks-Morse.
