In order to set a stage for what follows, let's first revisit some of the fundamentals involved in how valve timing relates to power output. And to further clarify how "power" is defined in 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 ...
Every aspect of an engine is a compromise: torque for horsepower, efficiency for emissions, performance for fuel economy, compression for octane tolerance. During the evolution of the internal ...
The hunt for efficient engine valve technology can be a never-ending journey into cam timing, various combustion cycles, and lift and duration adjustments. For that reason, some companies believe ...
The first production car engine with variable valve timing (VVT) came from Alfa Romeo in 1980. It was installed in the fuel-injected Alfa Romeo Spider. Before this, a few experimental systems existed, ...
The 'Intelligent Valve Actuation ( IVA)' system that operates the intake and exhaust valves that are arguably installed in gasoline and diesel engines with only the power of an electric motor is a ...
Mazda might have already confirmed a rotary engine as a range extender for the MX-30 electric crossover, but CarBuzz has now uncovered unique details about the specifics of this compact rotary engine ...
Variable valve timing isn’t necessarily a new idea, but it is new to BMW motorcycles. With a freshly designed 1,254 cc two-cylinder flat engine, VVT is arriving in BMW bikes for the first time with an ...
At its most basic level, an engine is an air pump. Internal combustion engines breathe fresh air and expel wasted exhaust gases to make power. Something has to tell those intake and exhaust valves ...
