...I've wondered about that too, for years.

...if they ever migrate up from 12VDC electrical system to 48VDC as they proposed awhile ago, there's a darn good chance that direct electrical control of valve lift & duration could be 100% under computer control...unfortunately, it takes lots of CURRENT to make inertia "change" positions quickly, hence the need for higher VOLTAGE source.
