The original concept of combustion engines as we understand them dates as far back as the late 1800s. And while they are more or less a solved science today, they definitely didn't start that way.

Hydrogen has caused some memorable accidents throughout recent history, so what’s Porsche doing to make it less volatile?

Chinese researchers have published peer-reviewed work on a series-hybrid propulsion system designed for compound-wing vertical takeoff and landing drones, combining battery power with internal ...

Internal combustion engines have largely been eclipsed by advanced propulsion systems such as jet turbines, electric drives ...

In case you missed it, the automotive industry has been on a steady trajectory of internal combustion engine (ICE) downsizing for years. Battery-powered electric vehicles may capture most of the ...

It is quite ironic that internal combustion engines (ICEs) have remained basically the same for more than one hundred years. It is only now – when they are allegedly on the verge of disappearing – ...

Generally, combustion engines follow a standard principle of operation founded on the premise that the crankshaft spins clockwise (as seen from the driver’s seat). That’s how the powerplants are ...

A better mousetrap? Even now, as electrification seems poised to end the internal combustion engine’s long run as the transportation motivator of choice, enterprising tinkerers continue to propose ...

I can never resist a good oddball engine, and this one’s pedigree is impressive. See if you can bend your mind around it. Most of you reading this probably have at least a basic understanding of how ...
