Automakers spent the past decade promising an all-electric future, yet the market is now rewarding companies that keep ...

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.

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 ...

We all know how a conventional internal combustion engine works, with a piston and a crankshaft. But that’s by no means the only way to make an engine, and one of the slightly more unusual ...

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 ...

The electric vehicle revolution gets all the headlines, and perhaps for good reason. What nobody mentions is that the global internal combustion engine market was valued at around $280 billion in 2024 ...

Soon after the internal combustion engine was invented, technological advancements steadily improved its efficiency and boosted its power output. Increasing displacement—or, in simpler terms, ...

Generally, combustion engines follow a standard principle of operation founded on the premise that the crankshaft spins clockwise (as seen from the driver’s seat). That’s how the powerplants are ...
