With the widespread and continued development and proof of concept ni BLDC motors/ controllers. BLDC will replace every single crankshaft HP to include the cam most likely a form of linear actuators directly attached to the value no spring . How much more HP can be freed up by removing all that parasitic load ? much more than a 10HP BLDC ,or at least large enough to move the car. A direct drive covering the harmonic balancer. Also makes no more finger traps. This liner actuator idea could open all the valves for Engine Off Costing. The computer can run a downgrade algorithm to control speed.adding valve movement to increase resistance. This would solve the battery full run away problems, that I've experienced with my cousin's '14 Leaf. Or something like what we are developing as a power supply it has a HP limit of 1/3 of the waste heatas a turbocharger as a BLDC spinner who knows with the increased efficiency of direct drive Vs shoving air. Or use a BLDC strong enough to stop/stall the engine disapating the kinetic energy into a supercapacitor and a small bat. to top off the supercapacitor after long storage , instead of letting the energy be absorbed by static compression.
Ultimately the petrol engine has had a Hart attack and is dieing, poor fellow don't even know it yet. Maybe 15 years left as a pure petrol production model ,not accounting for E-85 /B-10 they are already re-engineered for now. And no form of electric motove force aka hybrid, across the board yet. Once we can make enough non-crankshaft electricity., then the sky is the limit on MPGs . 1000mpg is possible. But alas the future is to far away to see yet.
Gumby stay flexible.
PS keep the ideas coming we have 100,000RPM motors everywhere in the RC world. Dose any one know? If we can keep the turbocharger down to <100,000+10% ? With a 1)waste gate. 2)VGT(Verible Geometry Turbocharger )
