Shamelessly stolen from the '6 forum.
Should this hit lower level production, it could revolutionise the way cars work. Really impressive stuff right there.

That is quite an epic advance in tech, will also make timing engines up far more precise, could also be used for being able to switch maps while on the move as its all computer controlled

It's been in the pipeline for quite a while now, I bet mapping it is fun

Very cleaver stuff yet ever so simple, seems like one of those things that will be on every car within a short time of being in production, seems like huge amounts of positive gains in all the right areas, question is cost i suppose

They are some pretty big figures he was listing off there! Would be great if this did come into play.

Yes you do. He said that the car has no cam shafts at all so what else is the belt needed for? Water pump maybe but i suppose they can just aux belt drive that.

Not matter what they put the water pump on, it would never be a timing belt. There's nothing to time! Haha

Yeah got to keep that waterpump in time. Dont you time yours when you do your cam belt? no wonder your car taps so much

Thats pretty impressive innovation, and providing the ability to completely eliminate the timing belt. At the same time I cant help but feel that the timing belt is 'simpler' though, and would cause less problems in high mileage cars, I think im just oldschool though

my idea. stolen. 
has been around for quite some time mind.
but not cost effective for mass production as yet

Exactly this.
That I what they are developing though. Granted there is more to go wrong, but due to the fact the valves return to the closed position with no feed, should something fail, you are going to get little/no head/piston damage.
Genius really

That is true piggy. But as with all technology, as it becomes more widely used and advanced, it will trickle down the car ranges and become more affordable.
