Electro-magnetic valves

[Bruce Plecan]

Numerous attempts have been made at this.
Some using two springs, and two coils, with valve parked 1/2 open.  Some
tried moving the rocker arm pivots, etc etc.
Might try hunting around the patent office to see what's been done already

| Has anybody ever had an idea to manufacture a cam less machine. Well I've
| got that dream, maybe somebody has tried it already.
|
| Here is my idea:
| Used normal valves with light springs. The valves can be closed and opened
| by electro-magnetic coils on it. This would then give the option to the
| engine tuner to design a infinitely variable camshaft! But this would only
| be day-dreaming until any-body tries it. I haven't got any metal work
tools,
| but have some power-electronics experience.
|
| The internal combustion engine, as we know it was develop about a century
| ago, so why can't it be changed?
|
| Any ideas, maybe I am way off track.
|
| Enjoy the weekends, tuning!
