Could this work on a Type VI and improve mpg ? Looks promising.
Königsegg says this technology will be applied on every engine in 10 years... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bch5B23_pu0 |

How is it much different than the coil-on-plug stuff we have now?
Man, if I was as rich as that dude, I would be messing with the same stuff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Man, if I was as rich as that dude, I would be messing with the same stuff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) For years F1 has been using a pneumatic system in place of valve springs. This year the limit will be 18000 RPM, it had been 19k, even more is probably possible. No metal valve spring can perform at that speed. The system in the video has to be very dependent on electronics, computers and pneumatics. I could be piggybacked onto crankshaft position sensors. Or is this all very obvious ? Very cool. |
