As for fuel lines. It would appear as if the tire rotates around the stationary engine with the power being transferred by the belts/chains. Yes?
Still, seeing the rest of the machine this engine is going to be driving is something I can't wait to see.
Much cheers to you and yours!

-how does it get it's fuel?
?change the tire?
?Is it inflated or solid?
Myself if I re-invented the wheel so to speak I'd have all the critical moving parts be "Maglev" so a generator kicks out the power that then energizes the equipment and then puts magnetic pulses to drive the thing. A variation on Arthur C. Clarke's early statement that for long lasting a machine should have as few moving parts as possible. That'd be no less of a challenge since it'd require integrated circuits built huge, high power and long lasting, or even new technologies like a "Virtual" high power semiconductor in a plasma field.
-actually a vacuum tube did that, but again I'd make a simple but modern tech accessible "PlasmaBrick" that could hold multiple circuits and not burn out casually... Not anytime soon, though...
While I too do like the maglev or large-size stator idea for an in-wheel engine, I made this because I thought it would look cool, I might do the same with something like that too.
