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 – ...

Despite electrification taking the lead as an alternative source of propulsion, some automakers, including Toyota, Honda, and ...

Professor Aniebiet Inyang Ntui is a multi-faceted individual whose expertise spans the worlds of library and information science, environmental advocacy, and – perhaps surprisingly – the automotive ...

Rotary engines (also known as Wankel engines and Wankel rotary engines) are quite different from piston or "reciprocating" engines. One of the distinguishing features is that they don't need valves to ...

Rotary might be a good name for this sort of engine, if the name wasn't already taken. Everything inside the crankcase rotates, but unlike a Wankel-style rotary engine, this design uses a piston with ...

The Astron Aerospace H2 Starfire is a clean burning hydrogen and water powered internal combustion engine alternative to battery cell technology. There is very little parasitic power loss with the H2 ...

Reports of the death of the internal combustion engine have been exaggerated. Electric vehicles were once poised to diminish the ubiquity of traditional engines, but automakers are booking huge losses ...

Removing an 800-HP rotary engine is supposed to feel like progress, not panic. The moment it came out, a hidden problem ...

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 ...

When it comes to unconventional engine design, few exceed the Wankel rotary in terms of weirdness. Despite that, the same basic principles of internal combustion apply here: Fuel and air are mixed and ...
