I’d like to see it in action. if this is something which can maintain the same longevity and durability as traditional camshafts, and not bring a ton of added cost, it could turn the industry on its head.

Definitely, the ability to make the entire cycle tune-able would do wonders for both efficiency and performance. Combine this with Nissan/Infiniti’s variable compression and ICEs may have some life left in it.

That is incredibly impressive technology. I especially like how they can remove the turbo waste gates. Just a cool benefit that I wouldn’t have expected.

I mentioned it in Scary’s post, but i’ve heard of these 2 technologies 10+ years ago before they were even mentioned by Christian or Nissan. As long as the research continues it’s all good. Endless engine mapping is too rad

Yeah, but the existing research was largely focused on large diesel powerplants. I’m excited at the effort aimed at small engines. And yeah, endless mapping is the coolest!

He has furthered research that Saab started for small engines. Also, the another fun one from Saab was their research in variable compression-ratio engines to adjust for conditions and quality of fuel.

I remember there being functional versions back then. Seems like people play with the idea for a bit then let it go.
