This motor would work. And does work!
The motor is completely electronically controlled. As for the camshafts, well there would be none. The valves are electronically controlled via no rotating parts. Its the EVC system, very recent technology, and your going to see it in cars soon. I was reading the comments on that page, as the one guy was talking about honda V-Tec engine timing, that is probably the most advanced variable timing system in a modern day car, until the invention of the EVC system.
The problem with this motor is that between switching from 2-stroke to 4-stroke and vice/versa, the Lamda (stoichiometric) balance of air and fuel will be compromised, so thus the system would obviously have to be Direct Injection, could not be carburted, throttle body, port injection... Has to be direct cylinder injection to maintain the proper AFR when switching the cycles.
Another problem you face is ignition issues, since generally 2-strokes will run hotter than 4-strokes. So your plug choice is going to have to accompany both power options without compromising either one. That is going to be sacrifice in itself.
There is alot I could say about this motor. But enough said as of now.
