Most modern gasoline and diesel-powered engines found in the cars and trucks seen on today's roadways rely on the four-cycle-engine principles developed in the late 1800s by Nikolaus Otto, Gottlieb ...

Anyone who appreciates simplicity of design and efficiency of operation has to like small two-stroke-cycle engines that power construction tools such as cut-off saws, rammers and breakers. Producing ...

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 ...

Gasoline engines usually run on the Otto cycle, the standard four-stroke and two-stroke combustion process that has been powering humanity for a while now. Although engines typically rely on the "suck ...

The defining characteristic of a two-stroke engine is to fire (combust) every time the piston is at top dead center. This makes them highly power dense, but also notoriously makes two-stroke engines ...

It looks like GM is working on modernising two-stroke engines by tackling their emissions problem. This could open a whole new chapter for internal combustion. It’s been a while since two-stroke ...

The Detroit Diesel Corporation originally launched in 1938 as a division of General Motors, and its main purpose was to build a two-stroke engine that would combine power and versatility in a small ...
