A new infinite VTEC

[manolis]

At www.pattakon.com a new Continuously Variable Valve Actuation system is presented, with working prototype photos, plots and animations (even stereoscopic ones).
Any engine, racing or normal, can be improved as the torque can be about constant from very low revs to the top allowable revs of the engine.

Comments? Objections?

BMW uses a similar principle on their car engines for the last number of years.

BMW uses a similar principle on their car engines for the last number of years.

Actually the system is very similar in operation to valvetronic of BMW, with the difference that the new system:
integrates the operation of variable valve timing,
controls intake AND exhaust valve lifts,
is short and simple and light and pure mechanical,
does not need drive by wire,
is applicable to used and new engine, from single cylinder to high end,
has fewer interfering joints from cam lobe to valve.
