billege, Im not taking issue with your refutation of the article. however, you do seem to ignore the very essence of the Coates system, which is that it eliminates the excessive waste of the traditionaly poppet valvetrain.
lets face facts. the poppet valve setup, regardless of whether it uses hydraulics, is an overly complicated system. IF (and thats a big if) the CSRV has solved the sealing problems, then it simply has to be a superior system.
less moving parts = less weight + less friction= more power output
"That's why engines HAVE redlines. Beyond a certain RPM valves do float, this is bad. This is also a valve SPRING problem, not a valve type problem. If you want a high RPM ceiling, you build an expensive, lightweight, strong valvetrain. Then you can rev higher without float."
or you might just eliminate the valvetrain altogether, as Coates appears to have done.
