You've heard the narrative: the era of internal combustion is on its way out, set to be replaced by cars with batteries and maybe, someday, hydrogen fuel cells. But the market isn’t moving in a ...

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 ...

From heavy-duty trucks and agricultural machinery to shipping fleets, aviation, and power generation, internal combustion engines STILL remain indispensable to both global infrastructure and mobility.

Reports of the death of the internal combustion engine have been exaggerated. Electric vehicles were once poised to diminish the ubiquity of traditional engines, but automakers are booking huge losses ...

The rise to power of electrified powertrains had some believe, for a short while, that internal combustion engines (ICE) were done. To some extent, meaning the medium-term evolution of the automotive ...

Combustion efficiency in internal combustion engines refers to the proportion of chemical energy in the fuel that is converted into useful mechanical work. Attaining high combustion efficiency is ...

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 ...

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.

SwRI has a multidisciplinary team dedicated to Hydrogen Energy Research initiatives to deploy decarbonization technologies across a broad spectrum of industries. In 2022, SwRI began modifying a ...

Exergy analysis applies the second law of thermodynamics to quantify the maximum useful work potential of energy flows within internal combustion engines and to pinpoint irreversibilities that degrade ...

Ford once sketched a road where an engine's pistons never saw oil and engines ran hotter on purpose. In a late‑1980s patent application filed and granted in Europe, the company described an "uncooled ...

The internal combustion engine will eventually die, but not today. The transition to fully battery electric cars hasn’t happened anywhere near as swiftly as automakers expected at the start of the ...
