Oil isn't going to run out in your lifetime, or even your grandchildren's lifetime. It will become more expensive, but there is still a lot left. Much, much more is left than we have burned so far.
My question is, does it actually work? A computer-generated video is one thing, a running engine is another.

Its a reciprocating form of what common jets/turbines do every day. *yawn*

I have great respect for all the backyard mechanics who can modify engines, and the smart people who can design these new ones. But we already have electric motors that are incredibly efficient, make very little if any pollution, have only one moving part, last 10 times longer with 1/100th the maintenance. I know, it's all about the batteris, but if we had anywhere near the R and D put into batteries that has been put into IC engines, we would have electric cars that would outperform IC cars x 10. It took one guy to developed the battery for GM's EV1. An awesome battery, ask Chevron, they own it.

They are part of Chevron, not Chevron itself.

They are not owned by Chevron, Chevron is Part-owner I guess if I say they won't let anyone use the batteries you will say I am wrong, " I have one in my laptop right now". So I guess I should be clear. Chevron is part owner (%50) of Cobasys, and while they will sell the batteries for use in small electronics, they will not license thier use in automobiles.

Good, that will force people to design something better.
