With all the recent emphasis on electric vehicles, we often overlook the technology that still powers most cars on the road today. The internal combustion engine (ICE) has been at the heart of the ...

The internal combustion engine, for all its mechanical sophistication, still runs on a 19th-century mechanical idea: pistons ...

At the heart of an internal combustion engine lies a series of cylinders, cylindrical chambers that house the fiery combustion process. These cylinders, arranged in various configurations such as ...

For hundreds of years of human history, the invention that has defined our ability to travel, explore, and expand our boundaries has been the combustion engine. This hallmark of mechanical development ...

Carburetors with vacuum lines are still found on classic vehicles and small-displacement engines — but what is the vacuum ...

Reports of the death of the internal combustion engine have been greatly exaggerated. In the wake of stalled consumer demand and stubbornly high costs, automakers around the world are furiously ...

Some agree that batteries are the clear winner in the race against hydrogen technologies, while others think the opposite. There's no such debate among internal combustion engine proponents. Almost ...

There’s no doubt the venerable internal combustion engine is under fire. A recent patent filing from Ford claims it can dramatically reduce emissions and, if true, the technology might give classic ...

Ford once sketched a road where an engine's pistons never saw oil and engines ran hotter on purpose. In a late‑1980s patent application filed and granted in Europe, the company described an "uncooled ...

The short answer is yes: innovative internal combustion engines, especially in combination with batteries, can and will play a crucial role in decarbonizing aviation for small aircraft, urban air ...
