Under the necessary conditions of ignition and proper burn rates (cylinder pressure history), both these conditions can exist in virtually any engine. But, in particular, they certainly apply to race ...

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have retrospectively confirmed that implosion asymmetry was a major aspect of fusion experiments before achieving ignition for the first ...

Southwest Research Institute and The University of Texas at San Antonio are collaborating to develop methods to detect pre-ignitions in real-time. The researchers will first use laboratory-grade ...

Sebastian's spare time is spent watching Formula 1, fiddling with his friends' cars (usually German money pits), and soaking up as much architectural amazement and engineering excellence as he can ...

When your car starts making a metallic knocking sound under the hood, you'd assume it could only be one thing: the engine. However, there are two common culprits, and they're definitely not the same.

A collaboration in the US aims to create a detection system that can identify pre-ignition in hydrogen internal combustion engines (H2-ICE). The Connect project brings together a multidisciplinary ...

Pre-chamber combustion is expected to significantly reduce fuel consumption, and the technology begins arriving in M cars this summer.
