This is why he released it for free I would imagine. The tech would never see the light of day otherwise, and he would never be able to make any money off of it.

@@cyjanek7818 That's not a patent. They're just not disclosing the exact manufacturing process. Doesn't stop anyone from figuring it out and making their own.

THERE it is, the true demand for application. Diesel folks would be lined right up. Especially with the capability of current gen trucks....braking will never not be an issue. Having a true engine compresson-loss brake on any heavy-load vehicle would be a leap forward in safety and peace of mind.

Theres a reason that jake brakes are only put on semis and not everyday trucks. The maintenance and upkeep would be absolutely ridiculous.

@@t58beare sim, cada valvulva independente deve dar mais manutenção mesmo

Not to mention if it started to run away then it could just cut air and fuel!

Ehh, a true jake brake has its own separate valve to release air at the top of the compression stroke, maybe you could get away with simulating it via the exhaust or intake valves but who knows. An exhaust brake can be pretty cheap to rig up and they are tried and tested for decades.. Also diesels that have variable vanes can get a lot of engine braking just from those! My diesel passat has a tune from stevenson on it and when you let off the pedal and the ecu goes into deaccel fuel cut off the variable vanes will close down. Producing boost that just goes through the engine without fuel and slowing the vehicle down greatly by increased back pressure

On the first one I saw a comment from a guy claiming to know some people who work for cvk and that they might be able to get him an interview for a job. Grain of salt though because it’s a KZfaq comment

If I am understanding everything correctly it's not overly hard (relatively speaking) to make a system to open a valve via pneumatics, the issue arises in the closing of the valves. A valve is meant to ramp closed and without that the valve smashes into the valve seat every time it shuts. I could be completely wrong but if I am not then both the valves and the valve seats will be wearing out at a rapid rate on this engine. I am open to correction here.

I can tell you he has barely copied 5%, Koenigsegg & Freevalve has a patent on their tech. This is a great build, it's a cam-less engine but it is not Koenigsegg Freevalve technology. Edit: Freevalve AB is very aware of this project (;

@@MrL1ink without too much info, could you tell us how you know they are aware of it?

"Camshaft belt manufacturers don't want you to know about this one simple trick!"

You’d need some kind of pressure reservoir or battery powered compressor to get the engine started though.

​@@aygwm For sure. A small priming pump and accumulator would probably be required. Or just crank it until it builds up enough pressure (interference engines need not apply).

@@100PercentJake Seeing as the air solenoid version *should* have all the valves closed when air isn't being supplied / is inadequate, having an interference engine shouldn't be an issue with cranking to start. The scarier part is cranking an engine with a belt-driven oil pump for that long imo.

When are you getting a second Miat to try this on? Seems right up your alley!

I would probably run the small compressor he already has in tandem with an A/C compressor converted to an air compressor. Pair that with a decent sized (I'm not really smart enough to know what size would be best) air tank and have the electric pump set up to only run when the tank is below (insert pressure here) and let the engine driven one do what it does.

Youd be able to tune it so its retarded or advanced in low RPMs and then obviously whatever which way it is in the high RPMs And if im correct you should be able to pump a certain amount of fluid to push the valve open more or less depending on the RPMs as well, thats with more software tuning

@@iceeice1234 bro its shit like this that makes me wish I allocated more money to invest in bitcoin or something lol I would love to be doing freelance engineering trying to make that a reality, but I have been aggressively paying off my student loans working & just couldn't delegate the time to cool, not-actively-being-paid-for projects like this.

That's one of the beautiful things about the internet- taking things that are already here and making them better!

With a more refined version, you would not even need to flick a switch - The Valve profile could be adjusted on the fly based on throttle input. But that would probably either take some *really* clever modelling or a *lot* more refinement - probably even both.

I would agree that this is the most significant thing in automotive development at the moment. Everything else I hear is yet more ideas for variable valve timing, all of which are overly complicated and still limited in capability. This can do literally anything, the tunability, performance, and economy possibilities are endless. This is a revolution, both for OEM car development and retrofit onto old cars - especially if it could be cheaper than a performance cam, which I'd imagine would be more expensive than the "nice exhaust system" he compares this budget to. I think of this as being like the switch from carburetors to electronic fuel injection, which is now universal on OEM applications and quite common retrofitted on classic cars, through things like Megasquirt. I have converted my classic Beetle to EFI in this manner, and I'm looking forward to installing this on it.

@@NoOne-ef7yu Not at all. You simply optimize low RPM for maximum power and high RPM for maximum power. The problem with cams is you can only pick one.

Computer could adjust valve timing on the fly, one map for maximum torque/horsepower another map for maximum fuel economy. Ecu that could optimize timing and even be able to run different fuels by measuring o2 readings. If ecu could measure torque generated by motor in real time it could really adjust to make max hp, with a good learning algorithm of course.

Thanks so much! I appreciate the support!

@@adrian69644 As I understand it, he's not going at it the exact same way. So even though Honda were the ones to bring variable valve timing to market, you're free to copy the idea without copying the execution. He's calling it freevalve here because that's an easy way to refer to it that "everybody" knows. "I put Infinitely Variable Valve Timing on a Miata" doesn't have quite the same pull to it. Which kind of also begs the question: it's not exactly ideal to keep calling it Freevalve, which, to my understanding, is a registered name of Koenigsegg's. What should its catchy name be?
