Variable cycle engine design embodies a transformative approach in aero‐propulsion, enabling engines to adapt their thermodynamic cycle to meet diverse operational demands, from fuel efficiency to ...

Intake, compression, power, then exhaust. Every 4-stroke engine ever made – about 80% of all engines currently in existence – function on this principle – even rotary engines. But now, Porsche has ...

Ferrari is exploring a groundbreaking approach to the internal combustion engine, as revealed by a recent European patent filing. Departing from the industry-standard round pistons, this new design ...

Interestingly, the rocket engine was created entirely by an advanced artificial intelligence system. LEAP 71’s “Noyron,” a powerful Large Computational Engineering Model, autonomously generated the ...

An innovative new combustion engine eliminates half the guts of a traditional engine, and uses a fascinating internally rotating piston and sleeve arrangement, making it lighter, simpler and more ...

John Neff is a veteran automotive journalist with over two decades of experience leading major outlets such as Autoblog and Motor1. Beginning his career as Editor-in-Chief of Speed, Style & Sound, he ...

Combustion engines with an odd number of cylinders are not unheard of but are not particularly common, either. Honda‘s just trotted out an interesting one: A V3, so, two pistons on one side and one on ...

While there have been many unusual engine designs over the years, there haven't been many advancements involving the inner workings of the piston engine, except for higher-quality components, since ...

If you've ever leaned over the fender of an old Chevy, timing light (one of the automotive diagnostic tools to add to your DIY collection) in one hand and a long extension on a ratchet wrench in the ...

Superchargers versus turbochargers. That debate has been discussed ad nauseam since both forms of forced induction were offered in production cars, and only until the mid-2010s did manufacturers begin ...
