Variable cycle engine design embodies a transformative approach in aero‐propulsion, enabling engines to adapt their thermodynamic cycle to meet diverse operational demands, from fuel efficiency to ...
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 ...
Combustion-Pele has come a long way in the seven years of ECP, gradually increasing its capability to achieve unprecedented simulations of combustion. Exascale systems such as Frontier will allow the ...
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 ...
The quest for alternative fuel sources has captivated the automotive industry, and Toyota's recent patent for a water-cooled hydrogen combustion engine throws open a new chapter in this dynamic ...
Hydrogen combustion engines lean on existing internal-combustion technology, but they still require some technical tweaks for maximum efficiency. Engine maker Cummins recently unveiled a turbocharger ...
Dimpled pistons might sound strange, but some say they could be the future for diesel power. We've looked at the arguments for and against this wacky idea.
