There are plenty of articles on combustion testing, equipment adjustments, and efficiency, but few on basic combustion knowledge or understanding. To some people, promoting setting gas pressure, ...

Almost all gasoline engines, whether they're efficient-yet-less-refined four-cylinders, high-horsepower V6s, or growly and torque-rich V8s, use much the same process to create power. The "Otto cycle" ...

The danger of the ever-increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in Earth's atmosphere has become one of the most pressing issues of our age. As such, much research has been conducted to find ways not ...

Despite sounding like a thoroughly entertaining evening out, it is actually a description for one of the most important processes in the majority of engines. Known as the four-cycle, it is the process ...

Sebastian's spare time is spent watching Formula 1, fiddling with his friends' cars (usually German money pits), and soaking up as much architectural amazement and engineering excellence as he can ...

Because internal combustion engines operate under such high pressures, it's tough to get their inner workings on camera. Usually the whole process is shrouded by thick metals to contain all of that ...

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 ...

In this segment of the Series, you're provided some considerations directed toward component selections that form the "foundation" of a high performance or racing engine. To round out an understanding ...
