Internal combustion engines are literally the engines of the modern world. Without the invention of these genius mechanical creations, our world would be markedly different and the pace of life would ...

Regardless of whether it burns gasoline or diesel, your internal combustion engine works by igniting a mixture of fuel and air to create power. To do so effectively, it must reduce the detrimental ...

Researchers studying a hydrogen combustion concept built around argon gas say the technology could reach 60% thermal ...

Diesel and gasoline engines might look alike under the hood, but they use oil in very different ways. Gas engines run cleaner, but diesels create much more soot, crank out higher compression forces, ...

Scientists are exploring a surprisingly simple way to clean up diesel engines: adding tiny droplets of water to the fuel. During combustion, the water rapidly vaporizes, triggering micro-explosions ...

Cold fusion, despite probably being impossible, is a good idea. Take a process known to create a meaningful amount of power and remove the harmful byproducts (like explosions), and you've got a winner ...

Many gas stations host diesel pumps that can be easily confused with gas pumps. Pumping diesel into your gas car can wreak havoc on its systems, forcing you to call a tow truck and mechanic.
