Compression in a diesel engine is essential for effective and efficient performance. And when compression is lacking, damage can result. That is why it’s imperative to know whether your engine’s ...

Gasoline and diesel engines feature many differences aside from fuel type. Compared to gasoline engines, a diesel is typically a lower-revving, torquier design, hence why it's often preferred over ...

Compression in a diesel engine is essential for effective and efficient performance. And when compression is lacking, damage can result. That’s why it’s imperative to know whether your engine’s ...

Want to know how healthy or unhealthy your engine really is? Get yourself a compression tester and find out. Despite how complex many modern vehicles are, you can do many common repair and maintenance ...

A gasoline piston engine that can dynamically change its compression ratio —that is, the amount by which the piston squeezes the fuel-air mixture in the cylinder—has long been a holy grail of engine ...

Free piston engines could achieve efficiencies of 50% which is almost double a regular gas combustion engine. However, new super efficient diesel engines could be even better, plus diesels would be ...

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 ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 113, Section 4: JOURNAL OF FUELS AND LUBRICANTS (2004), pp. 742-763 (22 pages) This qualitative numerical study examines the effects of internally generated "radicals" on the ...

1. EcoMotors is developing high-efficiency engines — specifically the unique opoc (Opposed Piston Opposed Cylinder) engine — for use in cars, light trucks, marine applications, agricultural vehicles, ...
