So an air supply is needed to drive the valves and the valves are opened and closed using air instead of a cam. Compression can be increased as they use non-direct injection to prevent dieseling but emissions are down, power is up when compared to the original setup for that engine. All seems too good to be true and it is. At least at the moment. If it was as easy as they seem to suggest, then all cars would have this technology now.
There is a requirement to get a lot of air available as soon as you turn on the ignition or you will have bent valves the second you turn the key to start the engine. They mention the ability toi save weight and space by making the cylinder head smaller, but what about cooling?
Assuming you have a have an air reservoir available then the instant air is not a problem but you will need a compressor too then all the pipework for that. I'm not sure the weight saving will be that great.
I didn't see the thing running in that video either. Is it real?
