In this detailed video, we break down the essential components of a car engine and explain their crucial functions in driving ...

A team of researchers including Princeton computer scientists has developed a new tool that simplifies the process of animating still images, such as this diagram of an external combustion engine.

In engines designed for standard unleaded fuel, efficiency and performance is optimized for 87 octane and could actually perform worse with higher-octane fuel since the burn rate is slower.

“Trucks where the traditional internal combustion engine remains but runs on hydrogen will have the same performance and reliability as our diesel trucks, but with the added benefit of very low ...

A performance ignition system will simply make the engine operate more efficiently. There are many types of aftermarket ignitions that can make a difference on your truck; the trick is finding the ...

One of the paradoxes in the high-performance and race-engine building community is the means by which mechanical compression ratio (CR) is "built." Since combustion chambers are of a fixed volume ...
