High-output engines live in a world of brutal cylinder pressures, extreme temperatures and razor-thin safety margins, and the ...

Modern piston engines are incorporating advancements such as fuel injection, turbocharging, and electronic controls (like Lycoming's iE2 system). Weight reduction is a key focus; engines like the ...

Engines have remained fairly true to form over the years without a lot of unusual changes, but a new Ferrari design could ...

An engine with no crankshaft, where the pistons float on air? It’s not a dream; it’s a free piston engine and it might be the next major advance in car tech. When we think of automotive technology of ...

1. EcoMotors is developing high-efficiency engines — specifically the unique opoc (Opposed Piston Opposed Cylinder) engine — for use in cars, light trucks, marine applications, agricultural vehicles, ...

Free piston engines could achieve efficiencies of 50% which is almost double a regular gas combustion engine. However, new super efficient diesel engines could be even better, plus diesels would be ...

Opposed-piston engine technology has been touted as a possible alternative to conventional engine designs for years. Now, opposed-piston engine developer Achates Power reports that its 10.6L ...

The continuous drive for enhanced efficiency and reliability in modern diesel engines has prompted extensive research into the thermal management of critical components such as pistons. The ...

Piston heads form a significant part of all gasoline, diesel, and alternate fuel passenger and commercial vehicles. They bear the brunt of high pressure and temperature and are, hence, made of special ...

Achates Power’s cleaner, heavy-duty diesel engine it developed in a project funded by the California Air Resources Board and several partners has entered fleet service with Walmart in a Peterbilt 579 ...

Solid lubricants such as graphite and carbon fibre reinforced polymer form the EcoTough coating for diesel engine pistons to reduce friction, and improve efficiency, refinement and durability of ...
