The host’s voice on this video makes it hard to take it
seriously; but I wonder if the racing guys have experimented with
either of the two ideas presented…?

While the apex seal does cross the trailing
plug hole and the leading plug hole during compression, the time
period of exposure is nil even during starting. Far less when running.
So, looking for a power increase with modifications here is not
productive.
Fuel consumption per horse power hour is not
far off of a piston engine at the same test HP. So, not much to be gained
with more compression. Every fire slot shape has been tried by Mazda and
many racers already and there is little to be had over the stock shape.
The engines tune like 2 cycle dirt bikes. Responding to exhaust
lengths/back pressure and inlet lengths. Usually can turn over 9,000
without damage and never throws a rod through the case. The "inventer"
does not have a clue.
