That's absolutely unreal. What a fantastic idea. Maybe even an investment opportunity.
Anyone seen this site? http://www.coatesengine.com/index1.html These guys make rotary valve motors (or specifically heads). Instead of having 2 (or 4!) valve springs, cams etc, there is 2 camshafts with balls instead of cams (so maybe they're ball shafts?) and each ball has a cutout in it. As the shafts spin, the cutout in the ball creates a passageway for incoming A/F or outgoing exhaust.
Now imagine if the two companies combined.........
