Re the likelyhood of the liquid piston engine finding its way into chainsaws?

With the phenomenal power to weight ratios and the viberation free/high revving nature they are advertising it should be perfectly suited to chainsaw use.

Thoughts?

Should also be a blinder in a motorbike come to think Stubby!

Cynical 64 year old that I am I imagine the design adresses the primary issues with the Wankel engine, and if the US military are funding them(same as they are funding Cummings development of the  Achates opposed diesel for their bigger stuff) they must be onto something.

That is interesting, think in the article it said 1.7kg core engine currently at 9k rpm but aiming for 14k rpm producing 3.7kW which is right in the chainsaw area.

 

On the other hand I think small and domestic tools are heading electric, so it's only the bigger saws needing it and I'm not sure there are enough of those to justify the complete reinvention of the design.
