Hopefully it wasn't patented. Because that construction is about 80
years old!
And when you look at the "cylinders" you know why it was given up.

I cant see how it could possibly work. the leading piston moves as
expected but the trailing piston has the exact same force on it
pushing backwards. the video shows it to move forward as though there
were no resisting force on it.
the design is a load of codswallop. cant possibly function as
indicated.
