[Land-speed] Camless engine>From>Jim McNaul

Thanks, Jim.  This'll be an interesting lead to follow up when I cool down in
front of my computer this evening.
Looks like they may have it figured out for up to a few thousand rpm.  I
wonder how far they are from bringing this technology to market and what are
the limitations. Haven't read the whole press release yet, copied it into a
.doc; but when sweat is dripping in your eyes it's not worth trying to study
anything other than a glass of cold lemonade......... and that's a short
study.
Nothing new under this sun, is there?

  The company I worked for for 32 years and retired from, International Truck
& Engine Corp. has had a "Camless" diesel engine running since 1995.

  It uses an electro-hydraulic valve actuation controlled by the ECM.
