The original concept of combustion engines as we understand them dates as far back as the late 1800s. And while they are more or less a solved science today, they definitely didn't start that way.

In case you missed it, the automotive industry has been on a steady trajectory of internal combustion engine (ICE) downsizing for years. Battery-powered electric vehicles may capture most of the ...

While diesel engines don't need spark plugs, they do need air ventilation for proper combustion. This is a problem for vessels traveling underwater, such as submarines. Yet diesel submarines exist and ...

Researchers from Skoltech have published a paper in the journal Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena presenting an analysis of ...

) is a type of hybrid car that combines a traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) with an electric motor and a large rechargeable battery. The unique feature of a PHEV is its ability to be ...

You've seen the evidence. You disassemble an engine and witness the appearance of deposits—or their absence—on piston crowns and combustion chambers in the cylinder heads. You can relate the presence, ...

Automotive engineers have invested countless billions trying to improve upon the humble internal combustion engine, but not all those efforts have translated well. In fact, sometimes, things got weird ...
