One of its first tasks will be analyzing an engine design that eliminates the mechanism linking the crankshaft and camshaft, and controls the valves independently. The valves would, therefore, be more ...

Some agree that batteries are the clear winner in the race against hydrogen technologies, while others think the opposite. There's no such debate among internal combustion engine proponents. Almost ...

Mid Michigan Research LLC is a research firm focused on improving the efficiency of internal combustion engines. Founded by Harold Schock, a professor of mechanical engineering at Michigan State ...

Imagine more efficient internal combustion engines with lower emissions, sparked by computer simulation. Scientists across the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have ...

NOTE: With this issue of HOT ROD, your Shop Series begins a slightly different and more comprehensive approach to the discussion of engine and vehicle basics. In the coming months, you'll find a frank ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mercedes-Benz has been granted a patent for an internal combustion engine that includes a crankshaft, camshaft, cylinder, piston, gas exchange valve, valve clearance compensation device, and a control ...

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 ...
