Cold fusion, despite probably being impossible, is a good idea. Take a process known to create a meaningful amount of power and remove the harmful byproducts (like explosions), and you've got a winner ...

The new hydrogen engine, while still in development, has thermal efficiencies above 60 percent. In comparison, diesel engines ...

Despite sounding like a thoroughly entertaining evening out, it is actually a description for one of the most important processes in the majority of engines. Known as the four-cycle, it is the process ...

Diesel engines are the perfect recipients of mild engine modifications. They are considerably robust—generally much more so than gasoline engines. Without going into a diesel history lesson, this is ...

We are at a critical time and supporting science journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen scientific ...

Researchers studying a hydrogen combustion concept built around argon gas say the technology could reach 60% thermal ...

On August 9, 1898, Rudolf Diesel was issued a patent for his diesel internal combustion engine, a competitor to the gasoline engine at the time (see figure below from patent). Armed with an education ...
