I'm pretty sure the F1 engines still use cams, they have just replaced the metal springs with nitrogen filled bags in order to hit those high revs.

I so want this common enough that I can pick up valve actuators in the junkyard.
VAG’s hubris is out of this world:
I wonder what is the more toxic work environment: mid-management at VAG or writer at Gawker?

Because road maps and long term planning is for suckers...
So far his schemes have revolved around preventing the environmental collapse of Earth and creating a backup planet in case something comes along that we can’t deal with.
Everybody has been working on HCCI piston engines for well over a decade now. I hold out hope that someone will succeed in making a production version, but it obviously isn’t an easy task. Now apply all the same problems present in a HCCI piston engine to an even worse combustion chamber design and sealing setup and…
Now playing
Are you referring to the various proposed toroid piston engines?
Except that is motoring.com.au reporting that, which as a rule of thumb means it is wrong. Even worse:
Emissions and fuel economy suck because the chamber dimensions discourage complete combustion. Short of an HCCI rotary, that will never change.
In a regular piston engine, pistons on a crankshaft move up and down and harness the power of combustion. Over the years, this type of engine (known as the Otto cycle)
