With oil reserves projected to exhaust by 2040 and mounting climate concerns, the automotive industry faces an urgent need for alternative fuel sources. Companies like Toyota and Honda have championed ...

Last month we began a new series on the basic operation of the internal combustion engine. We realize that many of our readers may be new to the high-performance scene and do not fully understand the ...

Internal combustion engines are literally the engines of the modern world. Without the invention of these genius mechanical creations, our world would be markedly different and the pace of life would ...

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 ...

In order for any internal combustion engine to function properly, you need three basic things: air, fuel, and spark. Air mixes with the fuel, providing an explosive catalyst. The engine compresses the ...

EVs are getting better at imitating combustion cars, but the truth is there'll never be a replacement for authentic ...

The internal combustion engine had its days, but the journey is about to end as the EV era dawns. Ever since this has become clear, the automotive industry, as well as big oil, have scrambled to save ...

Automotive engineers have invested countless billions trying to improve upon the humble internal combustion engine, but not all those efforts have translated well. In fact, sometimes, things got weird ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I am a professor at Cal State LA and the technical director for the Hydrogen Research and Fueling Facility. We go for better ...

The study intends to calibrate the compression ignition (CI) engine split injection parameters as efficiently. The goal of the study is to find the best split injection parameters for a dual-fuel ...

Pre-cooled engines, in which the incoming air is cooled by a pre-cooler before it enters the subsequent components for operation, are one of the important developments in combined power solutions.

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 ...
