Think you can have an internal
combustion engine without a
mechanically driven camshaft to
time the management of air and fuel?
Sure you can. Sturman Industries and
International Engine proved you could
and together drove coast to coast with a
medium-duty International diesel truck
a decade ago to show it could be done.
Think you can have an internal combustion
engine and eliminate both camshaft and
crankshaft? You know where this is going ?

An Unconventional Look At The Business World ? An alternative to alternative cars
|
|
Engineering genius Eddie Sturman wants to take the internal combustion engine into the digital age.
He says the engines we?ve been using in our cars for 100 years would be up to 50% more efficient if we simply replaced their cam-driven valves with digital technology. Emissions would be a lot cleaner, too.
Sturman argues it?s a better alternative than hybrids and electric cars. And his motors could burn just about any fuel from natural gas to biofuels.

Technology to Watch |
|
In a speech delivered at the Art Center Summit 2009 in Pasadena California February 18, Amory Lovins offered a few thought-provoking comments – as usual. Lovins, Chairman and Chief Scientist of the Rocky Mountain Institute (www.rmi.org), a world-renowned, non-partisan, efficiency ‘think-and-do tank” was addressing the topic of efficient goods transportation. Lovins stated that consumers must try to make themselves “indifferent to oil prices.” According to the WestStart-CALSTART Daily NewsNotes issued on February 18, 2009, Lovins “specifically cited technologies to watch, including Sturman Industries’ smart valves for engines, which Lovins says are ‘fast, small, cheap and digitally controlled.”
