Very cool, but they aren't re-inventing the wheel like they make it sound. That kind of technology has been in F1 for years now. If I'm remembering correctly, it was first brought out by Renault in the later versions of their V6 turbo engines.

That's pretty cool. Will it be run-of-the-mill in 30 years?

No they wouldn't.. Because the mass consumers of the aftermarket world are too cheap to invest in it, and the American Honda Co. side will not adopt it as they're trying to stay in the black right now. Hell, Honda Motor Giken Kogyo (Co. Ltd) . wouldn't invest in it, as the current CEO Ito-sama, is too much of a bean-counter. And it definitely shows in the Nikkei.
Right now, they're working on other items, like Electric and alternative fuel vehicles, Compressed natural gas, and Hydrogen fuel cell technology.
