Mechanical cams/linkages have limited our ability to maximize the performance of internal combustion engines (ICE) for over 100 years. Camshafts and their associated gears, chains, and linkages just cannot deliver optimum valve operation even with cam phasing and adjustable lifters. A novel, cutting edge electromagnetic linear Valve Actuation Motor (VAM) invented by SMJ Technologies (SMJ) can eliminate these prior restrictions and provide for complete software control of valve stroke (displacement, velocity, and acceleration) making Infinitely Variable Valve Timing (IVVT) possible, and the true potential of the ICE a realization for the first time since it's inception.
