The original concept of combustion engines as we understand them dates as far back as the late 1800s. And while they are more or less a solved science today, they definitely didn't start that way.

Port fuel injection and direct injection are similar but distinct systems, so why do some engine designs include both?

Engineers design modern engines to run in a narrow temperature window where power, efficiency, and emissions all line up. The ...

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 ...

Explore how boxer engines really work, why they’re not just “flat” engines, and how Porsche and Subaru kept a 120-year-old ...

Like much in life, the difference between detonation and pre-ignition, and their effects, comes down to timing. Both refer to a situation when an engine's fuel/air mixture combusts at the wrong time, ...

From intern to editor, Damian Adams' story reads like a well-written novel where he steadily worked to become the youngest-ever editor of South Africa's leading motoring publication, CAR Magazine. He ...

Fighter jet engines are complex machines that enable aircraft to reach incredible speeds. The modern fighter jet is defined by its engine, which accelerates a tremendous volume of air rearward that it ...

Automotive engineers have invested countless billions trying to improve upon the humble internal combustion engine, but not all those efforts have translated well. In fact, sometimes, things got weird ...
