Diesel engines can technically run backwards, though there's very little (if any) practical applications for this, especially ...
The earliest piston engines typically had only one cylinder, and at best, produced horsepower measured in single digits. But once you have a working engine, it’s a relatively short step to adding ...
We know gasoline is flammable. It burns. And we know gasoline creates heat energy when it ignites. Heat created by the igniting gasoline and air mixture is what gives us the power necessary to propel ...
If you are a motorhead, an unusual engine will immediately get your attention. Most vehicles today have either an inline or V-shaped configuration, so anything peculiar will immediately stick out. If ...
The 700-horsepower Porsche 911 GT2 RS is already pretty darn fast — over three times faster than the average regular-person car on the road today. For the sports car enthusiast, there’s likely no ...
The theoretical approaches for determining the amount and distribution of heat flow in pistons are discussed and their limitations pointed out. A simplified theoretical model of a cylindrical disk ...
