All combustion type engines require two variables to make power-air and fuel (gas, alcohol, methanol, etc). More air and fuel in the combustion chamber means more power potential. However, in reality ...

There are certain things in life we just take for granted, like the sun coming up in the morning, airlines losing our luggage, and a Corvette that will start when we turn the key. Generally, that's ...

As long as the internal combustion engine has existed, engineers have been trying to find better ways of igniting the highly combustable mixture of air and gasoline that powers cars. Everything from ...

Whether you service your own ignition or need more troubleshooting savvy for road rallies and cruising, this month's lesson focuses on spark and ignition system basics. Understanding ignition ...

Most pickup trucks sold today have internal combustion engines. Passenger vehicles are powered by two main types of engines: compression, aka diesel, and spark ignition, aka gasoline. Besides the type ...

Could diesel particulate filter (DPF) regenerations become a thing of the past? A Southern California startup that is gaining the attention of OEMs believes it’s possible. For the past few years in ...

Internal combustion engines are likely to remain in widespread use for some time yet, but it's possible that we may be bidding adieu to that most iconic of engine parts, the spark plug. Researchers ...

While most engines have the same number of spark plugs and cylinders, some four-cylinder blocks have two plugs for each ...

The lack of clearly identified constraints for ignition and flame propagation has hindered understanding the processes which limit lean operation in spark ignition engines. This experimental study ...
