Hydraulik Motors have been Build according to this principle for ages. That probably where they got. the idea. Aircraft engines WW1 with radial Design work on a simillar principle. So it is not so New as One can believe.

walk to your nearest scrapyard. Find a GM with A/C. Chances are it is a Harrison V5 or V7. Buy it. Take home your very own swashplate engine.
