We've seen many engine configurations come and go, with some being more noteworthy than others and some being just outrageous. Honda attempted to modify the shapes of the pistons used in its engine, ...

The two-stroke engine is mostly a piece of history today, but there was a time when some of the coolest developments in engine technology were two-cycle engines. Here’s how two-stroke technology rose ...

One of the most significant contributions in the history of propulsion technology came from a 19th-century engineer named Rudolf Diesel. While his idea was patented in the 1890s, it wouldn't be until ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
