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 ...

Internal combustion engines have largely been eclipsed by advanced propulsion systems such as jet turbines, electric drives ...

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.

Chinese researchers have published peer-reviewed work on a series-hybrid propulsion system designed for compound-wing ...

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 ...

Camshafts are one of the most confusing components in an internal combustion engine. What makes those lumpy bumpsticks even more confounding is the sheer number of grinds available, and then multiply ...

Both gasoline-burning engines and diesel engines produce power through a process of internal combustion. However, the latter are usually larger, louder, and often dirtier. While many people may not ...

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 ...
