With a slogan like “The Future is Ecclectic,” we’d expect some interesting things from INNengine, a startup based in Spain. The company is showcasing a “one-stroke” engine that works as an opposed ...

Any oddball engine is clickbait crack for mechanical nerds, and the most compelling ones purport to introduce an entirely new combustion concept. "Not a four-stroke, not a two-stroke, a revolutionary ...

The two-stroke gasoline engine was once a marvel of engineering, offering up huge doses of power in small and lightweight packages. Unfortunately, gas two-strokes also burn oil by design, making them ...

When I went to school for engine repair in the 1980s, we studied the differences between two- and four-stroke engine cycles extensively. If you're not familiar with engine strokes, understanding the ...

Intake, compression, power, then exhaust. Every 4-stroke engine ever made – about 80% of all engines currently in existence – function on this principle – even rotary engines. But now, Porsche has ...

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 ...

A fundamental difference between gasoline and diesel engines is that a gasoline engine uses spark ignition while a diesel engine uses compression ignition. Before we delve deeper, let's understand how ...

It's been a long time since the automotive world has bothered with the mixing of oil and gas of the two-stroke combustion cycle — but soon, it may come time to rid ourselves of four-stroke engines, if ...

I love weird engines—give me a rotary, a turbine, or, hell, even a flat-eight and I’ll be happy. That’s why I was so excited when I heard that INNengine of Granada, Spain had produced a opposed-piston ...
