That's an interesting idea. Obviously in the nascent stages here.

Is this one of those with a steam cycle?

Is the electromagetic valve actuation not being developed by one of the big three? That looks like the medium size three to me.

Edit: Answered myself:http://www.greencarcongress.com/2006...in_develo.html

I wonder how it would affect driveability with the valves able to open almost instantaneously. Is this a good or bad thing? Or would they control the speed of opening somehow?

Inquiring minds need to know.
