F1 technology. Not sure how long it's been around but enginemakers have been slow to pick it up. I hadn't heard about the regeneration thing, using the engine as a brake by turning it into a compressor and then using the air to either restart the engine or supercharge it is a neat idea.

http://youtu.be/Td9Gz_h7Qpg much more efficient than MultiAir if you ask me
I'm pretty certain I had read about early pneumatic systems causing issues with stress on the bottom end due to higher loads because of less valve float?

I wish I had a system like that on my bikes anyway
