But first, someone has to perfect a solenoid-drive valve train. Another ECU cell with full data to control each valve individually, at precise timing, then a crossover map to connect the basic valve control map with the input and output devices, to precisely control the valves' speed, lift, and duration as necessary for a wide range of load variables.

Yep, have fun with that.

Personally, I was going to try this with a crank trigger on a 4 stroke 1cylinder engine, but I still haven't found all the parts to be able to do it. (Solenoids that can handle the heat and response time, primarily.)

I might try it as "proof of concept" one day, with door lock solenoids or something, and just see how fast it will allow the engine to go before the solenoids can't keep up.
