The transition will be uneven and politically charged, but on the core engineering and economic merits, the gas engine is ...

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 ...

A.At the risk of oversimplification, here is the relationship between cylinder pressure conditions and time in a normal combustion process vs. detonation. Note that the rate of pressure rise vs. time ...

Hydrogen combustion engines are inefficient, costly to maintain and worse for the environment than fuel cell or battery powertrains. But they're also noisy and fun, so automakers are starting to pitch ...

Some agree that batteries are the clear winner in the race against hydrogen technologies, while others think the opposite. There's no such debate among internal combustion engine proponents. Almost ...

"No replacement for displacement" was the motto that produced some large powerplants during the exciting muscle car era. Nevertheless, this motto was taken to another dimension in the case of these ...

Reports of the death of the internal combustion engine have been greatly exaggerated. In the wake of stalled consumer demand and stubbornly high costs, automakers around the world are furiously ...

Ford once sketched a road where an engine's pistons never saw oil and engines ran hotter on purpose. In a late‑1980s patent application filed and granted in Europe, the company described an "uncooled ...
