Very interesting idea. Force is expensive to transport, so it is good to create it where it is to be used. Like with the muscles of human body.
But even if it is a real improvement: often better technical solutions don't make it. The classical example is the now ubiquitous QWERTY keyboard layout. This was initially invented to slow down typing speed on very early typewriters, in an attempt to solve mechanical problems with those thin levers with the characters at their top.
But in this example there are no problems with migration: to the human driver the new engine should be transparent, while a driffrent keyboard layout demands re-training on the part of the writer.

... or use notepad++, which kicks ass.
Despite my earlier comment: now I'm convinced this will be a success. I read over all commenting, and there are only two types of reaction
1. This won't work.
2. This is not new.
And this pattern is always a clear an very strong indication ton the positive.
