Ford once sketched a road where an engine's pistons never saw oil and engines ran hotter on purpose. In a late‑1980s patent application filed and granted in Europe, the company described an "uncooled ...

Combustion efficiency in internal combustion engines refers to the proportion of chemical energy in the fuel that is converted into useful mechanical work. Attaining high combustion efficiency is ...

Reports of the death of the internal combustion engine have been exaggerated. Electric vehicles were once poised to diminish the ubiquity of traditional engines, but automakers are booking huge losses ...

The original concept of combustion engines as we understand them dates as far back as the late 1800s. And while they are more or less a solved science today, they definitely didn't start that way.

In case you missed it, the automotive industry has been on a steady trajectory of internal combustion engine (ICE) downsizing for years. Battery-powered electric vehicles may capture most of the ...

Hybrid technology in cars refers to systems that combine a conventional internal combustion engine with one or more electric motors. This approach is designed to improve fuel efficiency, reduce ...
