With more and more new electric cars on the horizon, the future of internal combustion engines seems darker every day. But this new type of hyper-efficient engine design might keep it around for a bit ...

A.Here's a pressure-volume diagram for a combustion engine. Although rough, it is an approximation of the so-called air-standard cycle. '' Point (a) is at atmospheric pressure, after which the air is ...

Tailored to small gasoline engines, the KX1130 ignition-timing controller emerges as a complete single-chip design for 2- and 4-stroke ignition modules. The controller generates the desired ignition ...

Ignition coils sit at the center of every gasoline engine’s spark, yet they usually stay invisible until something goes wrong ...

Two-stroke engines have steadily fallen out of favor over the last 50 years or so. While they sport great power-to-weight ratios and are often much simpler mechanically than their four-stroke ...
