For hundreds of years of human history, the invention that has defined our ability to travel, explore, and expand our boundaries has been the combustion engine. This hallmark of mechanical development ...

Here are some of the technologies that are extending the life of the internal combustion engine by making it more efficient. Displacement on demand: Shuts down unneeded cylinders once a vehicle ...

As an engineering professor for more than 40 years, my father often told me that the only difference between a difficult problem and an easy one is knowing the correct answer. While that axiom can be ...

It's been 125 years since one of the auto industry's most celebrated designers filed a patent for a device that would become a central characteristic of the modern car to this very day. Even today's ...

Internal combustion might as well be wizardry to me. I have a basic idea of how engines work and I’ve been wrenching on them since I was a teenager, so I get the gist of it, but my feeble brain still ...
