With all the recent emphasis on electric vehicles, we often overlook the technology that still powers most cars on the road today. The internal combustion engine (ICE) has been at the heart of the ...

Carburetors with vacuum lines are still found on classic vehicles and small-displacement engines — but what is the vacuum ...

Reports of the death of the internal combustion engine have been greatly exaggerated. In the wake of stalled consumer demand and stubbornly high costs, automakers around the world are furiously ...

For hundreds of years of human history, the invention that has defined our ability to travel, explore, and expand our boundaries has been the combustion engine. This hallmark of mechanical development ...

Some agree that batteries are the clear winner in the race against hydrogen technologies, while others think the opposite. There's no such debate among internal combustion engine proponents. Almost ...

Small, ultra-fast, primary and “afterburner” secondary combustion events promise to deliver brake thermal efficiency as high as 69 percent. A better mousetrap? Even now, as electrification seems ...

Developments by the automotive, motorcycle, and trucking industries might just save your V-8s and more. Tesla Semi updates and autonomous trucks might have garnered headlines at this year’s Advanced ...

There’s no doubt the venerable internal combustion engine is under fire. A recent patent filing from Ford claims it can dramatically reduce emissions and, if true, the technology might give classic ...

Car and truck makers see hydrogen internal combustion engines as a tool to attack carbon emissions and leverage much of the industry's existing technology, expertise and supply chain. But California's ...

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 ...
