Off work sick and stumbled across this....

Interesting, but would it offer an advantage in a car engine ?

Interesting stuff , but if this is allready in use with race engines there must be some reasoning behind it not being commonly used in tuning???

Interesting !

Not a mechancical expert but motorbike engines tend to rev a lot higher so the advantage is greater.

Also, I would imagine that lower RPMS would result in excessive vibrations unsuitable for road cars ????

I thought the point was to resequence the intertial torque not reduce vibrations???

As I said, This is not in my field of expertise lol
