How engines work. What is an internal combustion engine? This video is the perfect introduction into learning about how cars ...
V-shaped engines like the V6 and V8 power lots of cars, but you probably never think about what, exactly, that V angle is.
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.
Toyota, Mazda and Subaru are not giving up on internal combustion yet. The Japanese auto giants are forging ahead with the development of new internal combustion engines, which the automakers say are ...
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 ...
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 ...
A new kind of internal combustion engine called REV Force with STLTC is being developed to be used in pretty much all ...
It is quite ironic that internal combustion engines (ICEs) have remained basically the same for more than one hundred years. It is only now – when they are allegedly on the verge of disappearing – ...
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 ...
While engine performance across manufacturers has largely been balanced in recent years, the 2026 changes could deliver significant, potentially decisive gains. In 2014, when F1 first introduced ...
