Form and Function - A Look at Intake Manifold Design: Intake manifolds play a huge part of power production, here’s some of the hows and whys Internal combustion engines are fairly simply machines.

Your intake manifold. It takes in air and sends it to your engine's combustion chamber. This is basically the start of the combustion process. After all, you can't have combustion without air.

While variable geometry engine air intakes were banned from Formula 1 in 2006, only to become legal again later on, you can find this technology in many road cars today. Typically, it goes by the term ...

Dublin, July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Automotive Variable Intake Air Control Valves - Global Strategic Business Report" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The global market ...

A gasoline piston engine that can dynamically change its compression ratio —that is, the amount by which the piston squeezes the fuel-air mixture in the cylinder—has long been a holy grail of engine ...

The penetration of polymer-based components in automotive engines tends to be evolutionary. After extensive testing and development, a plastic or composite component is introduced on a single model, ...

March 30, 2007 Over the last century of automobile development, we have seen an enormous range of valve actuation technologies, ranging from pushrod, through single then double overhead camshafts, ...

Internal combustion engines are fairly simply machines. When you break it down, they are nothing more than air pumps. When it comes to making horsepower and torque, the simple fact is the more air you ...
