When I first saw this I thought diesel and steam engines. Looking through the “history” section verified this. Still cool. Will have to read more later but it looks like it would eliminate valve “float.” Didn’t the old “Desmonic” (sic) system do this too with a lot less reciprocating weight? Seems like it would pose additional problems with the pistons-valves sealing as they cross the intake port on one side and exhaust port on the other. But hey, 2 strokes have done that for like ever!

The guys cloths say the idea ain’t new or he desperately needs a different agent! Still cool!
