3,000hp from 150lb and 150mpg ? Nice goal, but without any demonstrated hot stream hardware it's difficult to separate this from any of the other 'miracle' claims made for toroidal, quasiturbine and nutating engines made over the years. (I like the message in the forum section from the individual who 'doesn't understand how the concept works' but still wants to put money behind the idea. Aah, my favorite type of investor...!)

do go diesel, you'd have to think they'll use one of the better-known designs (SMA, Thielert, DeltaHawk, Mistral, etc.). Though that 'joke' R66 website circulated recently showed an Arrius.
