Hydrogen combustion engines are inefficient, costly to maintain and worse for the environment than fuel cell or battery powertrains. But they're also noisy and fun, so automakers are starting to pitch ...

Automakers once bet big on bizarre ideas—from swirling airflows to variable compression—and the results were as fascinating as they were short-lived. Automotive engineers have invested countless ...

With stricter emission standards and the rise of electric powertrains, it might seem like the internal-combustion engine's days are numbered. But Engineering Explained host Jason Fenske believes ...

Here are some of the technologies that are extending the life of the internal combustion engine by making it more efficient. Displacement on demand: Shuts down unneeded cylinders once a vehicle ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A major reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as other toxic emissions, is required to reduce the environmental impact of ...

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.

Back when we posted about GM's efforts to send a vehicle back to the moon utilizing some of the same electric powertrain technology as the Hummer EV, a user on our Facebook page stated that this made ...

Although the electric revolution is making big strides, the internal combustion engine is far from dead. So what’s does the future hold for it? Jason Fenske from Engineering Explained is here to lay ...

Revolutionary, they said. A world first, they said. Utilizing compression ignition, a method of gasoline combustion that the automotive world has been trying to perfect for over two decades, commanded ...
