This this this this this!
When this becomes commonplace or even retrofittable technology, it will be a
gamechanger! Imagine having your cam lobe profile go from this: /¯\ to essentially this: |¯ ¯| using solenoid drivers instead of a camshaft. No more ramping up and down for opening and closing valves relative to crankshaft position. Instead, the valve is instantly open and instantly closed, maximum intake and exhaust flow capacity available throughout the entire combustion process. Infinitely adjustable variable valve timing and seamless cylinder deactivation, neither which rely on oil pressure. I can’t wait!
