Smarter Heads: Replacinq dumb iron cams with smart e' cams

摘要

Perhaps iromcally, one of the dumbest remaining parts of a modern, electronically controlled combustion engine is the cylinder head. Sure many of them can alter valve timing and lift, but cylinder,per-combustion-event basis. cylinder, per-combustion-event basis Great engineering minds at Lotus,Ricardo,Valeo,and others have endeavored to replace dumb steel camshafts with smart air- or oil-operated valves, but they drew too much power or lacked the necessary computing covered a hydropneumatic camless valve solution from covered a hydropneumatic camless valve solution from Koenigsegg called Freevalve that might hit produc- tion in a Chmese Qoros vehicle within a year.Then I discovered Intelligent Valve Technology from British tech company Camcon Auto.whic strikes me as smpler and therefore better.
