Comment on Wave Disk Engine Could Be 3.5 Times More Efficient Than Combustion Enginesparent

Another very interesting engine design is the Superball motor which was much hyped a few years ago, but nothing seems to have materialized:

It seems to use ceramic balls which have the same function as cranks in an Otto motor, which is probably a weak spot (much wear and tear). Otherwise the idea is elegant; an actual working prototype might be nice to see.
