For more than 100 years, the internal combustion engine (ICE) has been the mechanism of choice for vehicles of all shapes and sizes. Across all configurations, the principle is the same: a mix of fuel ...

While adoption rates for electric vehicles may be on the rise, automakers aren't quite ready to part with internal-combustion engines. For some companies like Porsche, research into new ...

Imagine more efficient internal combustion engines with lower emissions, sparked by computer simulation. Scientists across the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have ...

The realm of pistons and internal combustion has been on an evolutionary arms race since the very first power stroke of the Big Bang that started the reciprocating piston revolution. Stronger, faster, ...

As we begin the last article in this series on the basics of the internal combustion engine, let's stop to review what we've covered during the last five articles. We began last May by detailIing the ...

With the rise of stricter emission laws, engine manufacturers have no choice but to look into alternate energy sources to run their vehicles. Cummins is reinventing the combustion engine but this time ...

Internal combustion engine development is far from stagnant these days, in spite of the advances in electric powertrains in recent decades—and this patent from Porsche concerning a W-style cylinder ...

NOTE: With this issue of HOT ROD, your Shop Series begins a slightly different and more comprehensive approach to the discussion of engine and vehicle basics. In the coming months, you'll find a frank ...

A better mousetrap? Even now, as electrification seems poised to end the internal combustion engine’s long run as the transportation motivator of choice, enterprising tinkerers continue to propose ...
