Yes, I have studied it a bit, Kevin. I would
not say its not suitable for our application - outside of weight, cost and size
{:>). However, it principally varied the length between throttle body
and intake port which certainly a way to get the length to match you operating
condition. It, however, did not lend itself to routing the FAW pulse
from the intake of one rotor to the intake of another like Mazda did to pick up
additional power- at least I could not see a way of doing it with the revolving
drum.

Ed - when I saw the variable length
intake that the BMW uses, which has a rotating inner cylinder to change the
path length, I thought that was quite ingenious since the outer dimensions
don't change and rotation is an easy motion to adjust. I have never
heard your comments on this design. is it too difficult to machine and
duplicate? does it not work for our application?
