There is no longer any doubt that internal combustion engines are on the way out the door. Most of us now believe that the doom of the ICE will be the electric cars, with their motors and batteries.

The Astron Aerospace H2 Starfire is a clean burning hydrogen and water powered internal combustion engine alternative to battery cell technology. There is very little parasitic power loss with the H2 ...

Engineers have a lot to think about when designing new engines, and one of the biggest considerations is the shape of the ...

In partnership with Woodward, Inc., a global leader in controls in Fort Collins, CO, the team is developing a free-piston linear generator as an alternative internal combustion technology. It utilizes ...

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 ...

Everyone generally knows about piston and rotary engines, with many a flamewar having been waged over the pros and cons of each design. The “correct” answer is thus to combine both into a single ...

You're at the point in your project where it's time to start building the engine for your car. You're looking online to see what pistons and rebuild kits are available, but the first thing you find ...

Pistons are an engine-building element we like to brag about, but you won't catch many of us boasting about having cast pistons. Cast pistons are for wimps. Many of us like to talk up hypereutectic ...

Just about every piston engine is defined by two basic measurements: bore and stroke. Bore is the diameter of the cylinder. Stroke is the distance the piston travels from bottom dead center to top ...

We developed a high-efficiency linear generator powered by hydrogen, which has less friction than rotating engines by turning linear motion directly into electricity. They are applicable as a range ...
