Still remember the "Bourke Engine"???

Anybody still remember once I've posted to see if anyone tried building a Bourke Engine?
When I mentioned the design had features such as: being able to run on different fuel, has low amount of moving parts, the oil will not need changing for about 100,000kms, will be able to run on detonation, burns the fuel completely and no pollution...
The Bourke Engine also claimed to be at least 2-3 times more efficient than the current internal combustion engine (20-30% efficiency)
Then somehow, the whole thread got flamed and you had all these "experts" from the forum claiming it's impossible, fuel's got a certain fixed amount of energy stored in it... blah blah blah?? (http://forums.toymods.org.au/index.php?t=msg&t h=80622)
today I stubbled across some "Quasiturbine Engine" and it turned out someone actually went ahead, designed and patented such engine... Except in a different shape! (Same features, complete burn, efficient engine, multi-fuel capable, can tolerate detonation, no oil needed)

but too bad it's a bit too late as the oil war is already here...
