Some of the world’s most complicated engines were created to achieve a specific objective. These engines were built to ...
High-output engines live in a world of brutal cylinder pressures, extreme temperatures and razor-thin safety margins, and the humble piston sits at the center of that storm. When power levels climb, ...
Science isn’t fun if we don’t try to break or bend its limits, but sometimes this rebellion doesn’t work. For instance, we don’t make triangular wheels, perforated windshields, or lead pistons for ...
The earliest piston engines typically had only one cylinder, and at best, produced horsepower measured in single digits. But once you have a working engine, it’s a relatively short step to adding ...
Rotary engines (also known as Wankel engines and Wankel rotary engines) are quite different from piston or "reciprocating" engines. One of the distinguishing features is that they don't need valves to ...
If asked what you wanted for piston rings in your engine build, would you know how to answer? Piston rings have the most important job in your engine. We will get arguments on this one because there ...
