Most of the time the IC engine will be running at a lower, more
economical setting. Which is probably wide-open throttle, peak
torque until the battery is full - then stopped for a bit. Repeat
until journey's end.

The most economic setting for any IC engine is usually in the range
65%-75% of maximum power.

This Yo-Mobile engine not like any other engine you have known, it
is a "rotary vane engine". It is also tuned to turn a genny.

Despite the claims, it is not a new concept,

The point is that it is very different to current engines, yet you are
prattling about current tripe.

merely a new version of
an old idea. A major problem in the past has always been vibration,
due to the variable rotational speed of the vanes.

It appears the Ruskies have got around that - clever people.
