We won't see it in vehicles in our lifetime... or if we do, not for a couple decades. Radical innovation in technology used within vehicles takes years to actually put into production.
What I would like to see is hydrogen powered vehicles. The technology already exists, but it would require radical change to support infrastructure and production facilities. There is not the will by those who control those business entities to invest the capital though...

Ray, is it outside the realm of possibility? Not really.

intriguing...I'd like to see the thermodynamic cycle so I could better understand it, but it sounds like using the multi-valve system, they don't have to put in as much heat to get the work output. I'm not sure that I actually would understand the valves though, as we mostly studied pistons.
About Hydrogen cars: the hard thing is that so many people would lose jobs if we completely switched to hydrogen. I'm sure there would be a way to accommodate, but it'll take time and lots of transition: like the switch from leaded to octane fuel.
