    LOL thats already been done. Engineers for the big three as well as the exotic car manufactors are already working on it. you can make a 12 cylinder run on 6 when powers not needed. you can adjust from sport to economy and every thing inbetween, all you need it to adjust the program. it would be an infinitely adjustable cam.
    Along with cams that are, for the lack of the engineering term, spheres linked so as to push the cam a bit, and it has a totally different lobe profile. A gut invented those and is trying to market them so as to retro fit them to existing engines.

    Great Idea just a decade too late.

    +1 vote. I belive F1 engines use a version of this technology, pneumatic vavles with no valvetrain and no camshaft.

    i know one of the newer BMWs (M5 maybe? ) uses a system like this.
