  1. I remember seeing Freevalve system while it was under development, at least 17~18 years ago. It was all easy to find back then but by 2010 was a 'closed' project (I think I found it on Porsche engineering site?) The biggest issue was the high amperage needed to operate solenoids. and probably why it isn't used by more manufacturers - if battery dies, your 'dead in the water', not so good for a 'grocery getter' One of the model engineering magazines actually had a two cylinder solenoid valve motor .
