ABSTRACT:
The electromechanical valve system consists of a new system for opening and closing intake and exhaust valves on internal combustion motor vehicle engines by using electric pulses from the electronic control module (ECM) to electromagnets surrounding ball valves equipped with permanent magnets on pivots. It is designed to eliminate the camshaft, rocker arms, lifters, springs, etc., for the engine so the engine weights less but has more power, requires minimal maintenance because of the drastic reduction in moving parts, increases fuel efficiency and allows variable valve timing because valve operation is no longer dependent on the camshaft. The electromechanical valve system uses an input signal from a crank trigger sensor to the engine control module (ECM) which sends electrical pulses to electromagnets around valve ball in which discs are equipped with magnets. The polarity of the electromagnets is varied to achieve a like pole alignment or an opposite pole alignment, which either rotates the ball valve open or rotates them shut.
