CA> I did the same search and actually read the webpages.

Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us. Have you
done any other searches lately or just this one search?

Did you search before or after you said the following?

CA>> The engine disappeared and I seem to be the only one now
CA>> who even knows it exists.

Of course, just now you said:

CA> Most mentioned several patents they believe applied to free-piston
CA> engine design starting back in the late 1800's.

So either (until now) you were totally unaware of current development
efforts, or you did know, but wanted to feel important, saying that
you were "the only one now who even knows it exists."

Either way, all I did was provide "more info than they currently have",
and possibly spark some interest for the engine in others.

CA> Cute attempt to recover from your first comment. ;-)

"Recover" from what? I said:

GE> I did a web search for "free-piston engine". Tons of hits.
GE> Lots of people still working on it.

I did, there was, and they are. Is there some problem with that?

CA> Let me guess, it was a picture of you in drag?

Ah, yes. Classic CA response.
