Watched this (also posted it in the MS discussion page)

Such a fabulous idea.

I am very excited to ditch conventional camshafts!

Such a huge breakthrough if it ends up working properly.

They still are developing fail safes to protect against total engine failure if for some reason one of the valves, or its compressor malfunctions.

Give it a couple of years, this is definitely the future.

Pneumatic valves? Interesting

Its not that complicated mechanically, its just tying it all together that would suck and building it tough enough.
