Camless engine technology

[Dead Eye]

I'm not convinced you'd need a huge reservoir of air - just a decent compressor which could likely be driven by the engine itself. I expect you could consider it sort of like a supercharger which although it leeches power produced by the engine, it still produces an overall benefit.

Since the valves are held by compressed air, I wonder if there was a compressor failure or something that the pressure on the valve would be reduced and would be more likely to be push back by the piston instead of being destroyed.... I doubt it considering the speeds and forces, but just an interesting thought

One last thing - this tech probably hasn't "trickled down" yet since Koenigsegg probably have it patented and are charging a ridiculous licensing fee to recover the development costs If it the tech stands up to the figures it could eventually become more common but that won't be for a while yet
