[OT]Electronic Cams? EDN article Link

[Zak - Andrew Wakeling]

Hey all,
Oops... forget. Just mentioned it to dad, and he said you could use TWO!
Of course... two cylinders (on a 4 cyl car) would be in the correct 
cycle.. because you could set up the valves to be both on power strokes. 
Also, they could use a small motor just to move the engine in the right 
position, not the chunky one we use to get the thing to a certain revs.
Yep, VERY possible IMHO.
