Modern Formula 1 power units turn a brutally strict rulebook into a physics experiment that borders on science fiction. With ...

We all know how a conventional internal combustion engine works, with a piston and a crankshaft. But that’s by no means the only way to make an engine, and one of the slightly more unusual ...

In case you missed it, the automotive industry has been on a steady trajectory of internal combustion engine (ICE) downsizing for years. Battery-powered electric vehicles may capture most of the ...

Formula 1 power units sit in a strange sweet spot where race-car engineering, high-end chemistry, and ruthless innovation all ...

Soon after the internal combustion engine was invented, technological advancements steadily improved its efficiency and boosted its power output. Increasing displacement—or, in simpler terms, ...

Generally, combustion engines follow a standard principle of operation founded on the premise that the crankshaft spins clockwise (as seen from the driver’s seat). That’s how the powerplants are ...

There are a few different kinds of combustion engines out there. Most of them are fairly simple machines in theory, but decades of refinement and innovation have made modern engines into complex ...

Fresh from the victory against EU plans to phase out combustion vehicles by 2035, Porsche is working on adding a gas engine to the upcoming 718 EVs ...
