Every savvy Ozzie knows about the 'Orbital Engine.' This involved a spherical piston. As she begins to move, she rolls head over heel, but as you achieve speed, it slips to a horizontal axis, thus serving as a gyro-stabilizer for the vehicle. (No trim levelers required.) Not only did it get 100mpg, but the afterburn was an inherent portion of its operating principle, so less exhaust. Lastly, the inventor had a very clever direct-transmission, giving it tremendous torque on demand. (Collision,...Mayday?) But, rather than compliment the line-up at Holden, she sits covered in dust on the shelves at Ford Motors. (Hari-kari?, Roll-over? ENRON?)
