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 ...

As we begin the last article in this series on the basics of the internal combustion engine, let's stop to review what we've covered during the last five articles. We began last May by detailIing the ...

Unit shown in the bottom of the photograph has been removed to show operation of the V-drive which is base of V-four engine.Ring gear shown on lower shaft of top unit is driven by a pinion mounted to ...

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 ...

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 ...
