This paper describes the process through which a new approach has been developed for the design and manufacture of cast aluminum pistons, termed the mono-core piston. The result is a piston with ...

Pistons play the ultimate role in an engine, but despite that, it's still hard to fully wrap your head around all the forces involved. There are plenty of moving parts in an internal combustion engine ...

ABSTRACT A Dual Piston Variable Compression Ratio (VCR) engine has been newly developed. In order to ensure the strength of the Dual Piston, the design guidelines were established. There are two ...

A new design in engine pistons is increasing fuel efficiency and reducing particulate matter in Volvo Trucks North America’s heavy-duty D11 and D13 engines, the company said. The patented “wave” ...

If internal combustion is a war, then pistons are quite literally on the frontlines. Converting reciprocating energy into rotating force means that the four-stroke process tries to both eject the ...

In theory, Wankel-style rotary internal combustion engines have many advantages: they ditch the cumbersome crankcase and ...

Ferrari is exploring a groundbreaking approach to the internal combustion engine, as revealed by a recent European patent ...

Remarkable innovations have been made to automotive technology since Karl Benz introduced the world to the "Motorwagen" in 1866 and Henry Ford gave rise to the American auto industry with the Model T ...

In a single-cylinder engine, the ability to homogenize and maintain the fuel-air blend prior to and during the burn is a classic combustion-engine problem. Add additional cylinders, and introduce ...
