The internal combustion engine, for all its mechanical sophistication, still runs on a 19th-century mechanical idea: pistons ...
In theory, Wankel-style rotary internal combustion engines have many advantages: they ditch the cumbersome crankcase and piston design, replacing it with a simple, single-chamber design and a thick, ...
Remarkable innovations have been made to automotive technology since Karl Benz introduced the world to the "Motorwagen" in 1866 and Henry Ford gave rise to the American auto industry with the Model T ...
When we here in the modern age think of an “engine,” we are usually thinking of a four-stroke, four-cylinder, gasoline-fed, internal-combustion engine with the valves on the top. But why must that be ...
LiquidPiston says its new XTS-210 solves the efficiency, lubrication and fuel type issues of Wankel rotary engines. This supercharged, liquid-cooled two-stroke claims 5X the power of an equivalent ...
Free-piston engine generators and linear machines represent an innovative departure from conventional rotary systems, offering high thermal efficiency and operational flexibility by eliminating the ...
