Almost all gasoline engines, whether they're efficient-yet-less-refined four-cylinders, high-horsepower V6s, or growly and torque-rich V8s, use much the same process to create power. The "Otto cycle" ...

Gasoline engines usually run on the Otto cycle, the standard four-stroke and two-stroke combustion process that has been powering humanity for a while now. Although engines typically rely on the "suck ...

Porsche has patented an innovative six-stroke engine that combines the benefits of a two-stroke engine's power with 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 ...

Optimisation of the intake system in internal combustion engines centres on enhancing the delivery of air (or air–fuel mixtures) to the combustion chamber in order to maximise power, reduce fuel ...

In the first installment we dealt with the essentials of spec intake manifolds. The story was intended to establish a level of understanding that would enable more specific information to be helpful, ...
