Has anyone seen, heard or read about the MYT engine? Is this a breakthrough of epic proportions? google MYT?

"The MYT (Massive Yet Tiny) Engine is an internal combustion engine of new design the features multiple firings in one cycle, producing enormous torque in a small area.
With 40 times higher power to weight ratio, low parts count, low maintenance, high mechanical efficiency, and low pollution, the MYTâ„¢ Engine will benefit airplane, big ship, 18 wheeler, SUV, passenger car, even down to carry on power generator applications. The MYTâ„¢ Engine as a pump/compressor also exceeds existing pumps/compressors in providing massive pressure, volume, and flow, all in one unit.
The first prototype model exerts 850 cubic inches of displacement even though the size is only 14" diameter by 14" long, weighing 150 lbs, compared to 3000 lbs for a comparable engine of conventional size capable of that much power output"
The engine gets 150 mpg!! has low maiantenance!! and can run on biofuels! An engine of this type weighing 35 lbs could power your car with 350 hp! It is patented by angel labs!!

Answer:
It is physically impossible to exceed the Carnot cycle efficiency in a combustion engine. The MYT's claim of "nearly 100% theoretical efficiency" is absurd.

I don't know enough about this engine to tell you if it's genuine or not, but if it really offers a power-to-weight ratio that's 40 times higher than normal gasoline engines, and simultaneously a much higher efficiency, it will take over the world within five years.

If it hasn't done that, we'll know it's a hoax, or at least a gross overstatement and mistake. If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Update: I watched demo video:

and the device does have a clever way of achieving compression, but I have to wonder about the durability of a seal functioning in such a warped geometry. Additionally, intake and exhaust ports would have to be fitted on the side of a cylinder, meaning the edges of the ports scrape the piston seals. Perhaps they have a way around this, but from outward appearances, the reliability of the seals does not look good to me.
