Electrohydraulic Camless Valves

[dzorde at aesprodata.com.au]

     Can't find the magazine anywhere in the local newsagents in OZ, is it 
     available somewhere on the web ?  Or could someone possibly scan it 
     and email it to me (it can't be considered breach of copyright if the 
     magazine is not available in the first place).

There was a thread a few months ago about electrically controlled valves.
     
     
The November 7 issue of MACHINE DESIGN magazine has an article about Ford's 
effor ts in that direction.  The article claims they can operate 16 valves with 
125 wat ts plus some hydraulic power..
     
The concept is elegant.  My complements to the designers.
     
With a small electric blower on the intake manifold they should be able to do 
awa y with the electric starter,  No cam shaft or gearing is needed.  The 
battery siz e can be reduced.
     
Everyone should find a copy of this article.  I bet we will see more of this in 
t he future.
