As far as I can tell from that badly put together web site, it's just a conventional 4-stroke engine with a scotch yoke instead of the more common crankshaft and connecting rod. This does have certain advantages but I fail to see how it can do all of those wonderful things listed above.

the piston are designed to be completely straight and no side movements as in the 4 stroke engine, thus completely immune to damages by detonation

Sounds great, but what does piston side loading have to do with detonation? Hmmm let me see - nothing. It's the usual pseudo-science BS you see all over the internet.
