There is no longer any doubt that internal combustion engines are on the way out the door. Most of us now believe that the doom of the ICE will be the electric cars, with their motors and batteries.

Sandia National Laboratory led by Sandia researcher Peter Van Blarigan that has been testing physical components of free-piston engines which could be 50% efficient. This is about twice as good as ...

A single atom inside of a reflective cavity could be enough to drive a piston in a tiny, quantum version of an engine. The essential feature of any engine is that it converts heat into work, which can ...

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, ...

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 ...

Engine creates continuous power and delivers it to the vehicle so that it can propel it forward. Internal Combustion (IC) Engines are used in vehicles, that burn fuel within engine cylinder, unlike ...

Monolith Engines has developed a set of dual (Fig. 1) and quad (Fig. 2) opposed piston engines (watch Two and Four Cylinder Single Stroke Opposed Piston Engines on Engineering TV). The engines uses a ...
