Inline and V engines dominate modern combustion vehicle design. Each layout offers unique advantages in packaging, smoothness, cost, and performance. Here is how the two configurations differ and why ...

Rotary engines have an aura of cool. In games of Top Trumps, the V12 might have been king, but a rotary was a joker, a wild card. A lack of mainstream success no doubt contributes; there are reasons ...

While a lot of automotive engines have one spark plug per cylinder, the HEMI V8 might have two per cylinder. What is the science behind that?

Research and Development (R&D) company Relative Motion Technologies, led by visionary Dr. Ibrahim Hanna, has introduced a revolutionary innovation called the Relative Motion Engine. It aims to ...

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 ...

Astron aerospace has shown a partial prototype of a new rotary combustion engine it claims runs at an extraordinary 60% thermal efficiency, burning totally clean with zero NOx emissions and nothing ...

For more than 100 years, the internal combustion engine (ICE) has been the mechanism of choice for vehicles of all shapes and sizes. Across all configurations, the principle is the same: a mix of fuel ...

As demands for sustainability ramp up, electric vehicle systems have become one of the major focuses of the engineering scene, with certain governments even hoping to gradually phase out traditional ...
