I had a cam less motorcycle once. It was known as a 2 cycle engine!
It seems to me that power savings is in parasitic loads because the valve action is the same as current cam operated valved engines. I will say that the idea of gasoline fuel injection may be a bit closer with this invention. As for rotary valves, too much dirt and grit would foul, score, and wear out much to quick.

2 cycles fire twice as often as a 4 cycle, ergo a stronger power curve. The big advantage for a 2 cycles was no valve float. The valve train,IMHO, doesn't suck 20% of the engine power, ergo a smaller than 20% power boost without one. I'm sure there will be some advantage, but not 20%. Maybe 2%. The big advantage would be electronic control of valve timing. A normal engine has torque at lower RPM's because of valve lift and duration settings. They lose at higher RPM's. Racing cams give higher lift and longer duration for higher power at high RPM's. Electronics could give you optimum power and economy at any speed.

Nice!
