Researchers have theoretically linked ignition and deflagration in a combustion system, unlocking new configurations for stable, efficient combustion engines due to the possible existence of any ...

With all the recent emphasis on electric vehicles, we often overlook the technology that still powers most cars on the road today. The internal combustion engine (ICE) has been at the heart of the ...

Production cars have come a long way since the invention of the combustion engine, and car manufacturers have always sought to innovate and push the limits of what is possible. An area of particular ...

We all know how a conventional internal combustion engine works, with a piston and a crankshaft. But that’s by no means the only way to make an engine, and one of the slightly more unusual ...

GM has filed a patent application for so-called “Multilink Cranktrains with Combined Eccentric Shaft and Camshaft Drive System for Internal Combustion Engines.” The system is designed to provide ...

The internal combustion engine had its days, but the journey is about to end as the EV era dawns. Ever since this has become clear, the automotive industry, as well as big oil, have scrambled to save ...

At the heart of an internal combustion engine lies a series of cylinders, cylindrical chambers that house the fiery combustion process. These cylinders, arranged in various configurations such as ...

Conventional wisdom suggests that our faithful internal combustion (IC) engines are heading the way of the buggy whip. The lithium-ion battery has arrived, emissions standards are tightening, and ...

The invention of the motor vehicle at the end of the 19th century was a watershed moment for humankind. Often described as being the great liberator of the 20th century, the motor vehicle has evolved ...
