Every car engine has quite a few details, ranging from cylinder count to compression ratios. How does changing the compression ratio affect the engine?

Flame of a jet-stabilised combustion chamber system in the HBK-S high-pressure combustion chamber test rig Even under the changed framework conditions of the energy transition, combustion remains an ...

As you work your way through this month's column, be aware there are successful engine and parts manufacturers who do not subscribe to what is being shared—and that's OK. There are also numerous of ...

The demands placed on modern aircraft engines are high. They need to be powerful. And efficient. And, of course, as low in emissions as possible. To master this balancing act, Rolls-Royce is driving ...

However, not all innovations are equal, and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

Aside from a large camshaft, cubic inches, and lots of fuel, compression is the element that allows power to be formed. It’s the massive amount of squeeze being placed on the fuel and air, which in ...

YouTuber Integzaa’s latest video gives us a neat look inside the combustion chamber of a four-stroke engine, using a transparent cylinder to show us how the piston moves within it to create internal ...

Today we're looking at how the regenerative cooling channels on Space Shuttle's main combustion chamber were manufactured. They used a combination of conventional machining with electroplating, in a ...

You've seen the evidence. You disassemble an engine and witness the appearance of deposits—or their absence—on piston crowns and combustion chambers in the cylinder heads. You can relate the presence, ...
