the way the valves are actuated is a lot like the higher-end paintball guns, i have a proto DM6 and the bolt is actuated open and closed by air pressure, and can be actuated (to fire a .68 paintball) easily 40-50 times a second, the concept is the same, the speeds are just much, much faster

no more dropped valves? or clearance adjustments? if so....im in!


also thought lets say i wanna change my profile....do i need to get a new head or what.

right now i can go have a cam grinded to what i want/need. how is that going to incorporate with this without breaking the bank.

broo... only if you have a saab you can get it done atm ahahahahahaah but on a real note this will help achieve closer to 100% combustion efficiency

great but i am all about price:performane ratio.

if this works correctly you will gain more power and fuel efficiency by at least 20-30% each, but it will cost A LOT tuning would be on a whole new scale because you can hold a valve open for as long as possible and it would not have be a fixed variable like it is currently with a camshaft

id just have to see more before im totally sold on the idea. lotta probs with new technology is, its a great idea till u see the price tag.

thats prettty fucking cool

well yeah its a whole new head lol

I could see these being very beneficial in the diesel world. With suck a fast opening and closing valve you could stuff much much more air into the cylinder with much less effort.

and you know what that means MOAR FUEL!

Didn't bmw make the first cam-less engine a long time ago? This idea is not new but I'm glad someone is finally taking advantage of it.
