Turns out its a rather old idea....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_engine



  • The most well-known application is in torpedoes, where the cylindrical shape is desirable. The modern Mark 48 torpedo is powered by a 500 hp swashplate engine geared to a pump-jet propulsor. It is fueled by Otto fuel II, a monopropellant that requires no oxygen supply and can propel the torpedo at up to 65 knots (120 km/h) (74.56 mph).[15]

How come the 'news' items are dated 2013 and the blurb talks about current development stage (2012)? Is this an idea that died and lives on only in old internet pages?

There are quite a few compressors that have a very similar operation. Mainly the automotive air conditioning compressors.

Swash plates have been around for a long time in hydraulic motors.
