Across more than a century of automotive history, a handful of engines have earned reputations for surviving abuse, neglect, and astronomical odometer readings. The most durable designs share a common ...

Perhaps the biggest challenge facing the diesel engine business today is “re-orienting” design efforts away from a focus on exhaust emissions to fuel economy, performance, and component integration – ...

Some engines earn a reputation not just for power or refinement but for an almost absurd ability to survive neglect, abuse, and high mileage. When mechanics talk about designs that are “nearly ...

A "cool flame" may sound contradictory, but it's an important element of diesel combustion—one that, once properly understood, could enable better engine designs with higher efficiency and fewer ...

Sandia National Laboratories researchers (left to right: Nathan Harry, Christopher Nilsen, Drummond Biles, and Charles Mueller) show off their prototype of ducted fuel injection module for diesel ...

Rocket engines and the internal-combustion cycle get a remake, thanks to engineering ingenuity. When it comes to engines, smaller and more powerful are always better. Throw in less expensive and ...
