A century ago this year, the first ocean-going diesel ship in the world, the M/S Selandia, embarked on her maiden voyage. She was a technological wonder, and both her hull and engines were built by ...

Pretty much nobody’s satisfied with how cars sound in video games. That’s why one programmer decided to build an engine simulator from scratch, just to nail realistic sound—only to find the task more ...

Engines with odd numbers of cylinders aren’t very common. The only configurations that normally see used in automobiles are inline-three cylinder engines and inline-fives. Needless to say, an ...

While it is technically true that an internal-combustion engine is basically an enormous air pump, that massive oversimplification ignores the gazillion different things which need to happen (and go ...

The Commonwealth of Australia (CoA), Department of Defence has contracted Kongsberg Maritime to develop and deliver a new K-Sim Engine simulator model to the Royal Australian Navy’s HMAS Cerberus ...
