I thought after McMaster died, so did the efforts to bring the concept to light. However, looks like US government sponsored research picked it up:

"the authors are confident that further development of this unique engine cycle will produce a heavy fuel engine that is unrivaled in regards to compactness and high power density for a multitude of applications"
I'm not sure what "heavy fuel" means. Does diesel count? I'd love to try one of these in a car, given the excellent power to weight ratio, and efficiency due to decreased thermal loss.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
I've been a car mechanic for 30 plus years and never heard of a nutating engine, thanks abzug it's always good to see something new.
