^ interesting. have not seen before.

Anybody else? Will they go public or continue to be privately funded?

there are some references to technical papers on their website. Maybe I will dig through them.

Only chance a company like that has is licensing technology to somebody. That has somewhat worked for Tesla, and it worked for Wankel/NSU for a while in the 60s.

I don't know how much of a patent they could hold on it but maybe.
