Piston heads form a significant part of all gasoline, diesel, and alternate fuel passenger and commercial vehicles. They bear the brunt of high pressure and temperature and are, hence, made of special ...

Modern piston engines are incorporating advancements such as fuel injection, turbocharging, and electronic controls (like Lycoming's iE2 system). Weight reduction is a key focus; engines like the ...

Free piston engines could achieve efficiencies of 50% which is almost double a regular gas combustion engine. However, new super efficient diesel engines could be even better, plus diesels would be ...

Solid lubricants such as graphite and carbon fibre reinforced polymer form the EcoTough coating for diesel engine pistons to reduce friction, and improve efficiency, refinement and durability of ...

While Tesla, General Motors, Nissan, BMW and other automakers doggedly push to bring battery-powered vehicles into the mainstream, Achates (a-KATE-ezz) Power engineers are betting that an old ...

1. EcoMotors is developing high-efficiency engines — specifically the unique opoc (Opposed Piston Opposed Cylinder) engine — for use in cars, light trucks, marine applications, agricultural vehicles, ...

Some of the world’s most complicated engines were created to achieve a specific objective. These engines were built to satisfy monster power requirements or to hit a high level of performance within ...

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 ...

Developing new engines that perform better, weigh less, use less fuel, and meet stringent emissions standards is the primary goal of most engineers and automotive corporations. Companies continually ...
