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!

I'm still waiting for electric valves...controlled by a computer cam. electric solenoids that can vary duration and lift. Hmm do ya think there is a patent yet? Did I just blow a Billion dollar idea?

Unfortunately, yeah, there are a couple patents on it.

Mercedes will do it eventually. I mean throttle by wire, brake by wire and soon steering by wire. Why not everything else by wire too?

the problem with auto electrictronics today is power...12v ha. ( and china) lets talk about 48 volt systems. internal combustion with a 48v electrical system would rock...and kill a bunch of hack mechanics in the process. computers woul dlike it, electric oil, water pumps, electric ac compressors...amy not electric cam shafts?
