Well, actually, i meant the actual hardware being programmable,
not the engine controller. It is possible to en/disable individual valves,
change valve timing while the engine is running, change effective
combustion chamber volume while the engine is running, change from 4cycle
to 2cycle and back again while running,, and even stop the engine, then
restart it running (properly) in reverse. Motor controllers can change the
motor from series wound, shunt wound, or compound wound. Many home
AC motors start with a split phase configuration, but run with straight
induction. I have seen a AC motor that even changed the impedance of the
rotor while running, i turned it into a DC motor that changed from a series
wound to a compound config after startup, limiting max noload rpm.

Heh, i had an electric in the mid 70's. I bought a VW with no engine, dropped
in a heavy golf cart motor with class F insulation, batteries, etc, and drove it
to/from work for about a year. Oddly, atm my `79 Z car has a great engine
that won't quit, and the body is totally rusting out, or i'd make it into an
electric too someday. The power lines for the charger are already run out to
the driveway. I'd use a different motor this time. A *few* lead-acid or Nicad
batteries, and the more advanced new fuel cells, the newer rare-earth PM AC
motors, and it would be easy to make an electric with looooonnnng range
and lots of get-up-n-go. Well, i did order some materials for a thermal solar
trough-type power generator yesterday, i have lots of flat roof, made just for
this purpose.

I made a stable infinite power generator, problem is, the required materials
don't exist, and it only stored power, not made it, and it would work only in
outer space on the dark side of a planet. Oh well, i wasn't going there
anyhow.
