Here's a long, rambling thread about it on HBA:
https://www.homebuiltairplanes.com/forums/threads/possible-new-engine-with-amazing-specs.37414/page-2

As I said in that thread, it's difficult to believe that less than 1 sq 
in of intake area can flow enough air to make 160 HP. Barring some 
order-of-magnitude increase in efficiency, it'll take as much air in 
that engine to make 160 HP as it does in a car engine, or a Lyc 320, or 
a rotary. The transfer porting between the rotors *looks* pretty 
restrictive, too, but engineers could probably analyze that much more 
capably than I can.
