Our engine has the potential to be up to two times more efficient than a gasoline engine, while also being incredibly power dense – about 10 times smaller and lighter than any other diesel engine out there. See what all the fuss is about at .

@tommy_da_cat @MarkGirolami @roydanroy Hey @tommy_da_cat , to answer your question - The 'X' engine is like a Wankel engine turned inside-out. With that inversion, the apex seals are now located in the housing, and they are stationary. They don't have the "chatter" that the traditional rotary suffered from.

@tommy_da_cat @MarkGirolami @roydanroy Further, and more importantly - the stationary seals can be lubricated from within the housing. Tiny amounts of oil, can be metered directly to the seal surface. This should reduce wear significantly as the seal will be riding on an oil film, avoiding metal-metal contact.
