With all the recent emphasis on electric vehicles, we often overlook the technology that still powers most cars on the road today. The internal combustion engine (ICE) has been at the heart of the ...

Reports of the death of the internal combustion engine have been greatly exaggerated. In the wake of stalled consumer demand and stubbornly high costs, automakers around the world are furiously ...

For hundreds of years of human history, the invention that has defined our ability to travel, explore, and expand our boundaries has been the combustion engine. This hallmark of mechanical development ...

A better mousetrap? Even now, as electrification seems poised to end the internal combustion engine’s long run as the transportation motivator of choice, enterprising tinkerers continue to propose ...

The electric vehicle revolution gets all the headlines, and perhaps for good reason. What nobody mentions is that the global internal combustion engine market was valued at around $280 billion in 2024 ...

Some agree that batteries are the clear winner in the race against hydrogen technologies, while others think the opposite. There's no such debate among internal combustion engine proponents. Almost ...

At the heart of an internal combustion engine lies a series of cylinders, cylindrical chambers that house the fiery combustion process. These cylinders, arranged in various configurations such as ...

There’s no doubt the venerable internal combustion engine is under fire. A recent patent filing from Ford claims it can dramatically reduce emissions and, if true, the technology might give classic ...

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 ...

Car and truck makers see hydrogen internal combustion engines as a tool to attack carbon emissions and leverage much of the industry's existing technology, expertise and supply chain. But California's ...

The short answer is yes: innovative internal combustion engines, especially in combination with batteries, can and will play a crucial role in decarbonizing aviation for small aircraft, urban air ...

Automakers once bet big on bizarre ideas—from swirling airflows to variable compression—and the results were as fascinating as they were short-lived. Automotive engineers have invested countless ...
