Weird & Interesting science, take 2

This is more engineering than research, with a heavy sprinkle of shilling since the video was sponsored by the company working on the project, but it's still at least fun to watch the hardware geeks geeking out. Sadly, it does not actually explain how their engine design is different from a Wankel rotary that well, though as I recall Wankels have a roughly triangular rotor rather than the oblong shown here. On the plus side, they do have an actual working model that's applied to a real world device, unlike a lot of "This revolutionary new powerplant will change everything!!!1!" clickbait vaporware.

Still a bit clickbaity since the titular liquid piston is dismissed as an impractical science toy in the first few minutes, but there's a cool fish cannon device to close that bit off so insert "I'll allow it!" meme here.
