"Adding to the Green Zone" Las Vegas, Nevada September 15th, 2006
The local manufacturer of OmniValves has successfully tested its automotive intake valve to dramatically reduce exhaust emissions. The test vehicle was a 1971 Volkswagen Bug, these air cooled 1600 cc engines have difficulty passing Las Vegas and other large City Smog Standards, but with the addition of OmniValves, the VW Bug passed with ease. Las Vegas has several tiers for passing smog. The tiers are based on the age of the vehicle. The 71 Bug has the lowest standard for passing. Of course the highest standard is for new cars. Even OmniValves was surprised (pleasantly). The 71 Bug, with no pollution controls and no catalytic converter, passed the new car emissions standards with just a small amount of adjustment to the Carburetor after the installation of the OmniValves intake valves. OmniValves say that this	technology works on all automobiles and trucks. The intake valve is the only major change that is necessary. The new OmniValves intake valve, replaces the old style intake valve in most vehicles and no other change or modification is necessary. OmniValves chose the VWs to test, because the stock intake valves are relatively easy to change out and the older VWs have problems passing the emission test in most major cites So it was a good fit for the test. Many people have these older VWs and keep them as collector’s items as they are a classic auto. They do get good fuel mileage and are not costly to rebuild. However many can no longer get them smogged, so OmniValves believes they have a good target market. OmniValves see their intake valves being used in many other vehicles for performance and for lower emissions. OmniValves mostly help at the lower RPMs and in	city driving conditions. OmniValves increase the green zone. The green zone is where your engine functions more efficiently. The green zone in most cars and trucks is a small RPM range of about a few hundred RPM. Every different Engine has a different green zone and a different green zone span. Some cars have the green zone on the autos Tachometer. OmniValves can double or even triple the span of the green zone. The green zone in an average auto may average somewhere between 1500 RPM and 2200 RPM. "Adding to the Green Zone" with OmniValves can increase your Green Zone from 500 RPM to 2200 RPM more then double that of the original Green Zone of engine operation. This has the effect of much lower emission and could bring your city mileage closer to your highway mileage, perhaps above highway mileage someday. The local small engine builder Nevada VW	Automotive and Bill Shafley built the test motor. He says the valves where easy to install and are working well, with a smooth idle. The passing of the smog test with no trouble is something that has not happened before. Mr. Shafley says that VW engines are hard to get to pass the smog test and that it usually takes several attempts to pass even with the easier old standers. But with the OmniValves it passed the new standards easily. He plans on using them on every new motor he builds. He purchased another set of OmniValves and plans on building a motor to stock for quicker turnaround. He is also going to stock them as a distributor. A set of valves runs 300.00, which at first seems expensive but just passing the smog test easily, he says, makes it well worth while! He also thinks that the fuel mileage will be greatly enhanced with in town driving and in a short period of time, with gas at 3.00 a gallon, the valves will easily pay for themselves.

"Go where no car has gone before" Las Vegas, Nevada Sept. 20, 2006
A local manufacturer next month, is bringing to the Floor of the SEMA convention, in Las Vegas, what they are calling "The Pollution Solution." OmniValves, are automatic variable intake valves for cars and trucks. It is well known that most auto emissions are generated at lower speeds while vehicles are in traffic. The gas and diesel engines that power our cars are very inefficient at the lower operating RPMs. OmniValves greatly increase torque at these lower RPMs, up to 500 percent. Go where no engine has gone before. With these greatly increased torque levels, gas and diesel engines can be idled at much lower RPMs producing enough torque to idle smoothly, run the A/C, run the alternator, water pump, and power steering pump. All at RPM levels never seen before, perhaps as low as 300 RPM.	With Major City Pollution levels being the worst during peak driving times, when traffic is at its worst. Many vehicles are running at low speeds or even at idle. OmniValves offers a solution to these inefficient low speed and or idle zones. Their "intake valves" automatically adjust to keep your engine operating efficiently. Their "intake valves" will install in most engines without modification, and in others with only minor modifications. With the increase in efficiency at lower RPMs the minor investment in OmniValves will pay for itself very quickly and the gains in lower emissions are incalculable. With the full possibilities of this new technology still not fully known, it is hard to say where it will eventually lead. Perhaps, 50% lower emissions at low speeds, Idle speeds at 300 RPM, fuel efficiency increases of 30%. This Technology	leads to many good things happening in your engine. No Exhaust gas reversion (exhaust gas contaminating the intake) Higher Intake manifold vacuum, giving better throttle response and better fuel atomization, faster and more uniform flame propagation, less exhaust emissions from unburned fuel, lower Idle speeds, higher effective compression, higher effective displacement, less ignition advance needed, (up to 12 degree's less advance). The scope of the advance this brings to gas and diesel engines is not yet fully understood. Automotive engineers will have to basically start over and redesign several things in the motor/drive train to fully take advantage of this new technology. New camshaft grinds, new ignition curves, flywheel weights, torque converters and transmission gearing will all have to be	adjusted to take full advantage of OmniValves It’s difficult to say at this point where these design changes will take us. But a 50% reduction in emissions seems to be easily in reach. Perhaps we’ll see a similar gain in fuel mileage, and perhaps idle speeds at 300 RPM with the same torque an engine gets today at 700 RPM. "Go where no car has gone before," get the same mileage in town as you get on the road! Hard to believe? OmniValves believes, so they are giving away free sets of valves to qualified customers at no charge!

Rock Crawler Goes 90 degrees "straight up at 935 RPM at 4 MPH" Las Vegas, Nevada September 21, 2006
While Rock Crawling is a growing sport and technology is advancing we still can't go straight up, at least not yet. But the local manufacturer of OmniValves says their intake valve will give you the power to do just that, go 90 Degrees, straight up! OmniValves announced another successful test of a 350 CI V-8, with the patented OmniValves. The 3500 LB 4 wheel drive jeep was able to produce the torque to take it straight up at 935 RPM at 4 MPH. Rock Crawling as the name indicates can be a slow speed type of Competition. And 4 MPH, in some cases, is too fast. The OmniValves produce much more torque at lower RPMs than other intake valves. This is just what Rock Crawlers are looking for! In addition to the new found low end torque engines can now be made more efficient and less polluting then ever before. All this, and they still help with the more important things (to some people) like Crawling up and down rocks. Doug at Dynopower said	he was very surprised to see the results of the test. He along with the Engineer, Dave Carey performed before and after Dynamometer test on the Small Block Chevy Rock Crawler. Carey said that the OmniValves were creating a giant increase in the amount of torque. At one point the dynamometer put so much load on the Rock Crawler that the clutch could not take any more load and started to smoke. The engine clearly had so much torque that the clutch could no longer handle it. Carey said that with the innovation of OmniValves engineers will be able to make changes to the drive train to take advantage of the new torque. This will lead to increased fuel mileage and to reduced emissions. OmniValves automatically adjust to cylinder pressure, every stroke and at every RPM to give the engine a much larger torque zone. In one test that was run on the Dynamometer, he had the Rock Crawler idling at 200 RPM up a slight grade at	4 mph. It is unheard of to have a Chevy 350 V-8, idle at 200 RPM let along go up hill at 4 MPH. Carey says that with changes to the gearing and to other components in the drive train cruising around town at 25 to 45 MPH and never going above 1200 RPM will be a reality. And Mileage that compares to the highway mileage is in the near future, perhaps this year. Carey says that driving around in town your auto has less wind resistance and with the new OmniValves, manufactures will be able to bring the idle down in cars and the city gas mileage up. Also with the idle down to half of what it was the auto emissions are much less then before, which Carey points out could really help the smog in a city like our Las Vegas. The mechanic that installed the OmniValves in the Rock Crawler, told us that the engine was a "tired" 350, meaning high mileage and that it needed to be rebuilt. Carey had the mechanic do as little as he could to the motor other than change the	Valves so he could get a good before and after test comparison. The mechanic said that normally he would have done a full valve job, along with valve seals and the motor needs piston rings but he did neither. He installed the OmniValves and the only change he made to other parts were new gaskets. The mechanic noticed one thing immediately that was different in the OmniValve motor; he noticed how easy it started. He said that this was the easiest starting motor he had every seen. He also noticed that the motor seems to run smoother and quieter then many newer motors. He wasn't really sure why, so he figured it must be the OmniValves. He also plans to try a set of 8 in his LS1, Chevy motor. Everyone at OmniValve is very excited, they have been working on this technology for close to 20 years and all are pleased to see it work so well. They now hope there will be OmniValves in every vehicle someday.

Hybrid Auto's Soon Obsolete?
"rev the engine up to 300 RPM and take off"

Las Vegas, NV September 28th ...... In two days, the local manufacture of the OmniValve automobile intake valve, brings to the floor of the SEMA show, what they say "will make hybrid's obsolete" their latest version of the OmniValve. The new design has higher lift and is designed to go the distance 100,000 miles or more.

Hybrid technology uses electricity generated by the engine to do the
low speed driving in the city with lots of starts and stops. Electric motors can generate very large amounts of torque efficiently to get your car moving. This is where Internal Combustion engines are the most inefficient. Using this arrangement, hybrid cars today get city mileage greater then they do highway mileage. However with the cost of gasoline in decline so are sales of these hybrid autos. Saving money owning a hybrid, even with $3.00 a gallon gasoline, which was with us just a

fewmonths ago, is not a guarantee. The auto itself is much more expensive and the batteries are quite expensive to replace.
The life span of the batteries varies but if your not careful you could be buying 3000 dollars worth of batteries after just 3 years of using the car. That is 1000 gallons of gasoline, more then offsetting any fuel savings. So, the hybrids future is unclear at this point, so says OmniValves of Las Vegas.

OmniValves say there is a better solution, if you use there patented
intake valve, you can create the low end torque similar to that of an
electric motor for your autos city driving needs. This would do away
with the need for an electric motor and more importantly the
batteries.

An OmniValve V-8 engine can idle at 200 RPM, creating enough
torque to run the A/C the Alternator, water pump
and the power steering,

then just rev the engine up to 300 RPM and take off. This is a significant
improvement in low end torque. It is basically unheard of for a cars
engine to idle at 200 RPM. For example a hybrid car would normally idle at 700 RPM.
OmniValves also say that an auto with their
technology generates far less pollution than a hybrid. The amount of,
heavy metals like Lead and Zinc that is used in making and running
Hybrid's makes it not very environmentally friendly, says OmniValves.

OmniValves say they will save the most precious resource there is ..................... Money! Saving money is the same as saving the
environment, according to OmniValves. "While the Hybrid cost is up to
$15,000.00 more then a conventional car of the same size and style,
the auto that uses the OmniValve is about $150.00 more, which will be saved in about 3
months of driving" says OmniValves.

"Then you have the savingsin R&D and tooling to make these new hybrid
models, your talking 100s of millions saved and passed on to the
consumer, it is a win, win scenario" says OmniValves.

OmniValve is so satisfied from their testing and that there is no doubt
what so ever this technology works and works extremely well and they are so comfortable with their broad patents and patents pending, that they are offering to engineers, manufactures and even some individuals, free sets of the OmniValve. To qualify for a free set,
you must be either a potential customer or someone who can advance the technology or someone willing to do advanced testing. Further details can be seen at www.omnivalves.com or Booth 51008 at 2006 SEMA in Las Vegas The Valves can be seen in person also in the Grand Ballroom New Products Showroom.

Are "transmission-less Automobiles" In our near Future?
Dateline Tucson Arizona: May 2nd 2007 OmniValves of Las Vegas, has conducted another successful test of their Patented OmniValves automotive intake valve. This was the very first test of a Chevrolet LS 1 type engine.

The engine was built in Chandler Arizona by Steve at LS 1 Custom Performance Engine, 1. http://www.customperformanceheaders.com/. OmniValves decided to use Larry's Engine and Marine,
http://www.larrysengine.com in Tucson to run the dynamometer testing. LS 1 Performance recommend Larry's Engine to test the motor. Steve at LS 1 has tested several motors with Larry Engine. This was OmniValves first and only test done with Larry's Engine and Marine.

OmniValves used their intake valve model number LS-198-120. You can see the dynamometer charts at www.omnivalves.com

The Valves were installed by Larry at Larry's Engine and Marine in Tucson, AZ, he said they installed easily with no problems. No other modifications were made to the heads or any other part of the motor.

The engine compression ratio is 10/1 and the motor has 408 cubic Inch displacement. With a moderate size cam. The Programing/tuning was done by Jerimiah Taylor, Jerimiah specializes in GM factory ECM's. (Electronic Control Module). He is also located in Tucson, AZ.

For numerous reasons, OmniValves decide to use the GM Factory ECM. The GM factory box has very complex software, so it takes someone who is very familiar with the software program to tune the engine. Jerimiah was able to tune the engine in about 4 to 5 total running hours. It took a little longer then normal said Jerimiah. A non OmniValve motor would take only a couple of hours to tune but the OmniValves engine took longer then normal because with the OmniValves the settings were much different then the stock settings.
The EMC came with the settings for a Chevrolet Camero with a 5.7 liter engine. When they first started the motor, it was very rich. Jerimiah after many attempts and a few hours of mostly reducing the fuel to obtain the correct fuel air ratios. OmniValves were pleased that the motor was running rich with the factory ECM settings. "This shows that the OmniValves are performing very well" said OmniValves. The timing was next. He tried 18, 20 and 22 degrees, BTDC. At 22 degrees there was a significant decrease in torque/HP at 18 degrees BTDC there was a very small decrease, so with very little testing they decided to leave it at 20 degrees max advance. Most LS 1's run with more degrees of advance, most LS 1's run between 24 to 28 degrees advance. Larry was surprise to see it run so well with the small amount of advance.

The Dynamometer charts for the LS 1 show a giant improvement in Low speed torque. 440 Lbs of torque at 1500 RPM, which is unheard of. From what the I saw at the dynamometer the torque at 1000 RPM was about 400 lbs, That is a lot of torque. You could drive up a big mountain in a big truck with 400 LBS of torque at 70 MPH! And the motor would idle smoothly at 400 RPM with plenty of useable torque. OmniValves believes with some further tuning and work on the idle circuit the motor will idle smoothly at 200 to 300 RPM. Because with OmniValves, the intake manifold vacuum is much higher then stock, so the idle circuit will need some redesign to get the idle down to where OmniValves would like to see it, in the 200 to 250 RPM range.

The camshaft they used has 222 @ .050 intake and 224 @ .050 Exhaust duration with 112 degree lobe separation.

This engine is going into a SCORE Class one Off Road Racing vehicle. The driver of the Class one car, Nate Enyart is impressed with the torque the motor develops at 1000 RPM. He is hoping to do very little or no shifting. "With 400 pounds or torque at 1000 RPM, who needs to shift! Just put it in 4 th gear and take off .......... I am hoping that I will never have to shift and at the very least shift very little" He is very excited about his new OmniValve power plant.

The new racecar is being built by Chenowth out of San Diego and should be out for its first testing in mid July, 2007. http://www.chenowth.com/

No need to shift? Are transmission-less automobiles in our near future?

OmniValves believes that with their OmniValve motor having an efficient torque zone from 200 RPM to 6000 RPM, who needs a transmission? "You just don't need a single speed" OmniValves say that, at 200 RPM a direct drive through a torque converter or a clutch. With a differential you can go any speed you want without shifting, from 3 MPH to 200 MPH, all with one, 1/1 ratio gear, or perhaps an under drive of 1/.8. When you have 400 lbs of torque at idle RPM's, the need for a transmission has disappeared.

OmniValves points out that the only reason that vehicle's need a transmission, is that non OmniValve engines only have a small RPM range where the engines are efficient. All that changes with the OmniValve motor. The OmniValve motor has great efficiency at every RPM! The efficient torque of the OmniValve motor is very similar to that of an DC electric motor. OmniValves believe that you can get the efficiency of a hybrid without the batteries, the electric motors, the transmissions and the billions in R&D. Since Low speed torque is the main ingredient in the success of the Hybrid. Hybrids could soon be on their way out!

If OmniValves can give you the torque you need at every RPM from a low 200 RPM idle @ 4 MPH up to 6000 RPM and 200 MPH and you can eliminate the transmission. Not only is the car lighter it is far cheaper to build, purchase and maintain. It could lower the average automobile price several thousand dollars.

OmniValves believe that slower turning engines are the future and that their OmniValve motors provide usable torque at speeds as low as 100 RPM. Everyone at OmniValves were pleased with the torque numbers. And at these very low RPM's there is far less waste heat generated and far less emissions, far less fuel usage and far less ware on every engine component.

OmniValves sees in the near future a 20 percent fuel savings and in the long run? OmniValves predicts a 40 percent fuel savings in the City! With these giant torque gains we may see cars that run around town up to 50 MPH that never go over 1000 RPM and that idle at 100 RPM, with no transmission. And to top it off, idling around town at 100 to 500 RPM and no transmission, just maybe no radiator is needed in town ? Or very little cooling, further reducing wasted energy.
