Advancements in automobile engine technology have continued to rise exponentially, specifically in the past decade, where efforts have been focused on alternative engine technology. The passenger ...

Most of the internal combustion piston engines built for vehicles throughout history have pretty familiar core designs. The majority of fuel-burning vehicles sold today orient their pistons in inline ...

America has revealed a self-rotating engine. Rotary engines are commonly called Wankel engines, paying tribute to the inventor Frank Wankel, the person who started to create these machines. It ...

A rotary engine, often referred to as “Wankel”, owes its name to German inventor Felix Wankel, who first developed the concept. Though he initiated the design, it was the Japanese automaker Mazda that ...

An engine with no crankshaft, where the pistons float on air? It’s not a dream; it’s a free piston engine and it might be the next major advance in car tech. When we think of automotive technology of ...

With the foundation of our 383ci Chevy build in place, thanks to the installation of the forged Eagle 3-inch stroked crankshaft, it's time to move onto the rotating assembly. That means it's time to ...

Despite being in use for more than a century, combustion engines are still way to complex and inefficient in turing fossil fuel to mechanical work. Naturally, engineers have been battling their way ...

The Rotating Detonation Engine being developed by Pratt & Whitney has no moving parts, which reduces complexity and costs, and could help enable high-speed, long-range flight with increased efficiency ...

With the engine block for our 455-based stroker mule engine completely machined, Craig Wise of RaceKrafters will now work on the rotating assembly, which includes the crankshaft, connecting rods, ...

Despite the recent advent of usable, talented electric vehicles, combustion engines are likely to persist for quite some time, often as a component in plug-in hybrid and range-extended electric ...
