The realm of pistons and internal combustion has been on an evolutionary arms race since the very first power stroke of the Big Bang that started the reciprocating piston revolution. Stronger, faster, ...

Heat initiates the internal combustion process. Diesel engines utilize the temperature buildup from extremely high compression (pressure) to ignite the air/fuel mixture, with a little help from glow ...

The most transportable and rugged sources of power are IC engines. Most industrial internal combustion (IC) engines in the low-power range, about 30 hp or less, are gasoline powered because diesel ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Automotive engineers are concerned with weight-to-power ratios when designing vehicles. While light-weighting is a ...
