I've been saying this for years.
OK maybe I never actually told anyone. I would have figured that it would have be tried out long ago and put into use by now if it was a good idea. Maybe I should have said something.

Imagine how much less friction the engine would have, and how free revving it would be. :drool: There could be some crazy valve and cylinder head designs that follow this innovation.

I dreamed up something similar to that when I was in class in college. However, I think their idea could actually work, while mine had an inherent flaw/weakness.
My idea was to use shutters (similar to the ones on a camera) instead of valves. Seems like that would allow infinite adjustment of air intake, timing, etc. Of course, the weakness is that shutter would never stand up to the pressure of an engine.
