Yes, I have studied it a bit, Kevin.  I would not say its not suitable =
for our application - outside of weight, cost and size {:>).  However, =
it principally varied the length between throttle body and intake port =
which certainly a way to get the length to match you operating =
condition.  It, however,  did not lend itself to routing the FAW pulse =
from the intake of one rotor to the intake of another like Mazda did to =
pick up additional power- at least I could not see a way of doing it =
with the revolving drum.

  Ed - when I saw the variable length intake that the BMW uses, which =
has a rotating inner cylinder to change the path length, I thought that =
was quite ingenious since the outer dimensions don't change and rotation =
is an easy motion to adjust.  I have never heard your comments on this =
design.  is it too difficult to machine and duplicate?  does it not work =
for our application?
