Inconel is the same stuff they use on afterburner casings. It can withstand extended temperatures in excess of 6800 degrees. But we are going to be using it because it has the lowest coeffecient of expansion of all alloys and is every bit as tuff a titanium. It just costs a lot more is all. We should be able to make the valves hollow this way and really get them feather light. Yeah BMW, I sure wish I knew if they have stolen my idea. They may have because the company I worked with on that metal I told you about, was working with BMW on a gas door release. I told them to go ahead and tell BMW because I wanted someone to use my idea. Because in reality George, I don't think we will be able to scrap up enough money between us to actually build what I am talking about. BUt if BMW drops the ball, maybe we can pick up where they left off?? They may just give us the stuff they were doing if they have to do budget cuts or something.
Anyawy, we won't need multi-valve stuff, because that thing about non reciprocationg valves, which we will eventualy do, will open up like 3/4 of the entire head for intake and the other quarter for exaust. Or maybe 50/50/ depends on how well we can get the variable boost turbo working. I was going to learn C+++ programing language, but I figured by the time we start on this they will have common language programing, so we will be able to create our own software real easy by then.
I appreciate the kind words, but you would be amazed at just how many people get mad at me all the time. I could tell you stories you just wouldn't believe. Even here there are people who are not real fond of me. Stalkers, stalkers everywhere but not a drop to drink.
