Engineers have a lot to think about when designing new engines, and one of the biggest considerations is the shape of the ...

The newly formed organization will host a series of meetings of its members to exchange research results, insights and ideas regarding opposed-piston engines with hydrogen combustion. Several ...

Some of the world’s most complicated engines were created to achieve a specific objective. These engines were built to satisfy monster power requirements or to hit a high level of performance within ...

There’s a large slice of human philosophy predicated on the maxim that if the fundamentals are sound, don’t fiddle around with them – a line of thought given voice in a myriad of different sayings, ...

The earliest piston engines typically had only one cylinder, and at best, produced horsepower measured in single digits. But once you have a working engine, it’s a relatively short step to adding ...

When we turn the key, what happens under the hood and why? How does an automobile engine work? What is that sound we hear and the propulsion we feel when the accelerator is depressed? "External ...

Science isn’t fun if we don’t try to break or bend its limits, but sometimes this rebellion doesn’t work. For instance, we don’t make triangular wheels, perforated windshields, or lead pistons for ...

Free-piston engine generators and linear machines represent an innovative departure from conventional rotary systems, offering high thermal efficiency and operational flexibility by eliminating the ...
