You are right, I think it's on the same level as the 300mpg carburetor considering all of his claims are violating known laws of physics for an internal combustion engine. Obviously, I'm missing the big picture.
Read: 60% efficiency with an internal combustion engine is nigh impossible, too much energy is lost to heat in the combustion process, friction, and other factors.

Background for you, and an explanation of why 60% would entail potential new laws of physics.

Here's a great Isle of Man TT race vid, with some pretty nasty crashes. With motorsport safety as stringent as it is these days, I don't know why this annual race hasn't been banned yet. Riders die almost every year.

Because in the rest of the world they understand that doing 185mph on a public road with only skill and 1.4mm of kangaroo leather between you and certain death means accepting responsibility for your own actions. If you highside yourself over a cliff at the TT, you can't sue the guy who put on the event because the public road you were racing on didn't have wide enough gravel traps. The same goes for sueing the FIA because you got run over by a race car while standing ON the racing surface at the Paris-Dakar or a WRC event.
