Thats nice, but there is nothing new in the idea as rotary valve internal combustion engines date back to at least 1909..

Brass_Machine:
I have followed discussions on rotary valves. Some interesting stuff... I will be watching this.

GypsyTinker:
yeah... I wasn't claiming to be the first.

The sealing is the key and coates got it right. I learned that from when I was working on this a long time ago...
