The original concept of combustion engines as we understand them dates as far back as the late 1800s. And while they are more or less a solved science today, they definitely didn't start that way.

In case you missed it, the automotive industry has been on a steady trajectory of internal combustion engine (ICE) downsizing for years. Battery-powered electric vehicles may capture most of the ...

Depending on the type of electric motor setup, hybrids use several interesting ways to charge and recover battery power while ...

Combustion efficiency in internal combustion engines refers to the proportion of chemical energy in the fuel that is converted into useful mechanical work. Attaining high combustion efficiency is ...

Turbocharger use is more prolific than ever, and understanding how one works explains why it’s such a popular choice. To understand the benefit of a turbo, we need a refresher on the basics of the ...

There is so much going on with internal combustion engines (ICEs) these days, it can give you a headache just reading about them. That's why we do the research for you and then cram it into bite-size ...

Researchers at the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) have designed and tested a key ...

A new study published in Engineering has explored a pilot-ignition reactivity-stratification (PIRS) combustion strategy for ammonia-fueled compression ignition engines, realizing a high ammonia energy ...

Since then, the EcoBoost engine has expanded throughout Ford's lineup with three-, four-, and six-cylinder versions. There is more to how the EcoBoost engine works beyond turbocharging, but the ...
