Pretty cool technology. Especially like the idea of the next step of regenerative air charging for instant power if needed.

The idea of making smaller form engines also appeals. Maybe in the future could mean cheaper higher power fun cars with brilliant center of gravity's. Maybe even a GT86 without the need for a subaru engine
Ending up with spare parts in assembling things since 1983

I watched all 8 episodes, and the man is a god. He is a very genuine person that loves what he is doing.
