For the super high revs of 18,000 RPMs and above pneumatic vales are the only option. It will interesting to see if a modern road car can adapt the plumbing and control mechanisms into an engine at a somewhat reasonable cost with a real benefit in performance and reliability.
Since he is not using US tax dollars to fund his engine, I say go for it and good luck. I really mean that.
