Sandia National Laboratory led by Sandia researcher Peter Van Blarigan that has been testing physical components of free-piston engines which could be 50% efficient. This is about twice as good as ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Automotive engineers are concerned with weight-to-power ratios when designing vehicles. While light-weighting is a ...

As the industry’s transition to electrified vehicles continues, albeit at a slower pace, you wouldn’t think many would be working on developing more sophisticated internal-combustion engines. Oh, to ...

If you're rebuilding or restoring your old Ford truck, you might want to check out Egge Machine and Speed Shop engine kits for the venerable Ford 223 6 cylinder truck engine. They offer two kits ...

When we here in the modern age think of an “engine,” we are usually thinking of a four-stroke, four-cylinder, gasoline-fed, internal-combustion engine with the valves on the top. But why must that be ...

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 ...

Toyota is revolutionizing the automotive industry with its groundbreaking W-Piston Free-Piston Engine, which achieves an impressive 50% efficiency. This innovation not only promises enhanced ...

Specifically, an internal-combustion engine is a heat engine in that it converts energy from the heat of burning gasoline into mechanical work, or torque. That torque is applied to the wheels to make ...

For hundreds of years of human history, the invention that has defined our ability to travel, explore, and expand our boundaries has been the combustion engine. This hallmark of mechanical development ...
