Plenty of apparent breakthroughs never make it to market -- sometimes they're bought out and shelved or otherwise suppressed; sometimes they just don't work as expected. Sometimes they're a scam from the start.
It'll be interesting to see what happens here. If it DOES pan out, it'll be a major advance.
I remember seeing the designs for a split-cycle engine back in '95 and followed the developments with a keen interest. All the major car manufacturers were interested.
Then the US military got involved, they wanted the engines for their stealth jeeps (low heat signature) and the whole thing got blackholed.
This practice needs to stop and the only way to get these technologies into the hands of the people is to end war. As long as there are militaries they will keep stealing what the creator intends to benefit us and use it against us.
'Simulations'. They need to produce better evidence before their claims will be taken seriously. Sounds like a funding grab at the moment.
You're right: simulations aren't the real thing.
Maybe it'll all pan out, maybe it won't.

I'm always hopeful these things pan out into reality, but experience has made me very wary of hoping too much :)
Me too.
