Anyone know about any interesting articles to share about camless engines?
Here is one link. http://autospeed.com/cms/title_Camless-Eng...10/article.html Having infinitely variable cam timing would open so much performance and economy it just boggles my little mind! And not having cam chains to worry about would be something positive also. Just imagine a 2 liter type 4 with heads that would essentially have dual overhead camshafts with infinitely variable valve timing. WOW!! Tom |

Rotary cam is nothing new. (google it)
Compact nuclear... Now that's where it's at. Seriously though, rotary makes sense. Even if as primitive as centrifugal timing variation, it's all rolling with the flow. On the contrary, solenoid-driven, or anything else that relies on stop and go motion is way more complex and inefficient and prone to quick wear (and thus more frequent adjustments to stay within spec). |
